Title: Save your money!
Product review: The eye-catching "Official Strategy Guide" and Maxis-style front cover promise much, but this book is a grave disappointment. While it may be of use to those who have never used SimCity before, anyone looking for the in-depth information which is alluded to will be left wanting.The few titbits of useful information which are provided, such as the land value calculation on p68, are poorly explained and make one wonder how much the author actually understands his subject.Chapter 3 is pure padding - it just lists Maxis' own table of differences between SC2000 and SC3000. A useful-sounding appendix giving a list of power consumption values (p94) and "specific consumption figures" (p132) is alas missing from the book entirely. The number of fundamental errors which should have been caught by even trivial proofreading is _awful_: 3x3=16 (p57); 5x4500=4500 (p58).Put these things together and you have a complete waste of money...
