I'm a nr. 1 Warcraft fan and I know what people expect when they see a book with the title Warcraft Atlas. This book isn't it.
Turn open the first page and you already bounce against a mistake. The colors used to define the difference between Horde and Alliance maps are switched :-s
The feeling the book gives you is that it has been put toghether in a haste. Use the hype of the Warcraft game to easily sell the worthless book.
The way professions are handled is incomplete. There is a nice grid that shows in witch area you can find certain herbs, but they forget to do it for clothing. For that profession, the location of Moonwells are even important (Mooncloth), but even that is completely neglected.
Half the book is filled with cheap copy/paste maps from in-game, without any fancy restyling. A cheap grid layout on top of it and that's it.
Same for the major cities. Just the smaller area's like Goldshire and so on are designed in a nice style. A style which should be used for all maps.
It's worthless. I can't see in any way how you would use it in a practical way. The information is easier and faster to find using thottbot or other popular warcraft community sites.
My advise : save your money and don't buy it. Rather go buy and read the War of the Ancient Triology by the hand of Richard A Knaak.

Although I didn't buy this from Amazon, I still wanted to state my feelings for this book. And I feel cheated. I was expecting highly detailed maps, showing spawn areas, NPCs, etc. I would have also expected a series of maps for dungeons/instances. Instead, I've got a book of maps that, like others have said, are nothing more than blown-up versions of the maps from in-game. And there are some major errors; from mislabeled flight routes for the Alliance, to NO DUNGEON MAPS!! My advice for others looking to buy this. DON'T!!

I was hoping to get a pure atlas revision of brady's strategy guide. (ie no class or armor information)
What I got instead was
blown-up pictures with only npc's listed, no quests.
30 Pages of NPC by alphabetical order.
2 pages of flight paths, that don't have them all listed.
It's perfect bound, not spiral, so its hard to keep open an flat.
It's not a bad book, but I would save my money for a revised brady strat guide

While the printing is acceptable and the binder seems sturdy enough, the maps feel hastily done like they were just screen shots from the game and enlarged without any sharpening. Most of the pertinent information is at the back of the book, not kept with the maps. Rare spawns are not marked on the maps making them a pain to find. There are also no instance maps in this book at all. If you insist on having everything WoW related then you might like this book, otherwise you will be disappointed at the quality and content.

The illustrations are nice, but over-all the book feels unprofessional. The first thing that alludes to this is the mistaken flight paths (poor quality control on Brady's behalf). The other thing that bother's me is the lack of a North Arrow typically found on maps, on the smaller city-town maps - some of the maps for these are orientated upside down or sideways from how you are used to looking at them from the in game map. For instance, the map for Feathermoon has the pier jutting out to the water on the left making you realize the map is upside down from how you think about it in the game. Oh, there are no Instance\Dungeon maps either, so dont buy this book expecting those.
