"More hits than Motown!".......2004-05-28

If you're one of those people to whom pop music is a very important part of your life, then you will not be able to put this book down. OK, it helps if you are/were fans of the artists covered, but it's not essential, as the story of the evolution of music in Liverpool is fascinating in it's own right. The effect of American music on the city, and the social background to the various 'scenes' through periods of prosperity and decline are put into context well, and if Liverpool has had more hits than Motown, as claimed in the book, then we well deserve European Capital of Culture 2008 !

Wonderful!.......2002-12-11

What a great book! Really captures the feel of Liverpool and reveals the amazing legacy all of these musicians have left behind. I great history of all the talent that has emerged from the City...from Beatle days to present day. Well written, very descriptive and lively. A MUST to buy for any music fan!

Book Description

Michael Tippett's oratorio A Child of Our Time was written at the beginning of the second world war as an expression of "man's inhumanity to man." This Handbook discusses the significant musical and literary features of this remarkable work within its specific historical, social and stylistic context. Attention is given to the shaping of Tippett's own text as well as its musical representation. Also of importance is the initial critical reception of the work, a reception that defined certain responses that still surround the work today.

Helpful for ABSOLUTE beginners.......2007-02-14

It seems apropriate that this book is included with the Battle Chest - the only person this book would truly help is someone who has never played StarCraft before. "Tips" from the author range from obvious to shaky to wildly erroneous; More often then once the author states that an ability does one thing when it really does something completely different. The maps of single player missions are helpful, but the overly general nature of the "walkthroughs" leaves much of the thinking to you.

While people who are tenatively picking up SC:BW for the first time will appreciate having a book to hold their hand until they acquire a feel for the game, any regular SC player will tell you that the book's suggestions border on laughable. I use this book for the maps, but thats it; its a nice bonues with the Battle Chest, but not worth buying on its own.

good thing they made this.......2004-10-02

this book helped me out alot even though i usaly used its for the cheats it has in it but it tells about baskicaly evreything you need to know about starcraft and brood war

This is the worst guide ever.......2004-04-03

I am an experienced SC player. My record is 124-12. This book is a bunch of junk and lies. They make stupid claims about units that aren't even true. The tips they give you, are bogus. They claim that a Terran Wraith is expensive to build. It is only 150 minerals and 100 gas, and for all that it does, that is a bargain! I love Wraiths, and I think they are very cheap to build. I am going through reading the book, and making edits from my experience on the game. I love when they say the Terran Battlecruiser is their most powerful unit. Those things are so worthless! I have never built one in my life, and never plan on doing so. For the price and unit supply they cost, they are not efficent.

I can go on and on about how terrible this book is, but what I am trying to say is, this book isn't worth the paper that it is printed on. If you truly need help in this game, you can e-mail me at Cfjoe068@msn.com and I will glady play online with you and answer any questions you have. I love teaching newbs what units do, and introducing the great world of SC to them the right way.

Campaigns ONLY.......2003-12-28

I bought this book with the starcraft battle chest and I must say that this book is not very good. It is okay to use it for campaigns, but for custom games, it's horrible. Either the strategies are to basic, or they don't work. You'll find your self saying "Wow, thank you captin obvious." If you like to play capaigns, then you may want this book because it helps you a little bit. If you're like me and like to play custom games or have little intrests in campaigns, look elsewhere.

The best way to learn or improve your Brood War game is..........2002-10-08

to buy this excellent book. I know how useful it is to watch replays, learn from friends etc. but this guide will provide a handy walkthrough, that will help you overcome the Single-player missions (that help you master the units and overcome the basics of the strategy) and then the Multy-player intense action. It provides excellent tips on how to beat each race (what strats to use against them) and even extras such as campaign editor and unit stats help. I for one didn't regret buying this examplary product, and I bet neither will you. It's cheap and useful, just what a SC gamer wants.

And I bet most of us are striving for SC perfecction, right? It's one of the most popular games of today, you know, if you don't play it, when you walk on the street people will point at you and say "hey look, there goes that guy that doesn't play SC, whatta case! When my son got all Fs in school, I said, "that's ok, you won the SC tourney and that's all that matters. Screw graduation ;)."."

StarCraft: Prima's Official Strategy Guide is the perfect reference for solo play. The guide provides detailed walk-throughs for each of the game's 30 levels, with clearly marked maps and screen shots to help illustrate important points and tactics. The book offers more than 50 pages of statistics on the various units available and an easy-to-follow list of general strategies. Statistical information about the game's units and buildings, a section dedicated to the StarCraft campaign editor, and a brief multiplayer primer for gameplay on Battle.net round out the guide. --Michael Ryan

Customer Reviews:

Entirely worthless.......2006-11-12

It's slim - like a pamphlet - and infuriatingly replaces the manual in the Starcraft Battle Chest. The guide to the single player missions is reasonable, but they tend to be simplistic in any case (make a base or two, build a lot of defense, and crank out The Unstoppable Army so you can sweep the map in one massive wave.)

The unit descriptions and tactical advice are worth a buck or two at most; you'd be better off just fooling around with the units on your own to see what they do. Passages range from accurate but non-informative to flat out wrong - for example, the author claims one powerful spell that protects your units from all ranged attacks only works against air-to-ground fire. Captions often have nothing to do with their picture, which has nothing to do with the page.

There is a very brief section on multiplayer strategies, and it's the worst in the book. In describing the new layer of depth multiplayer adds, he offers this possibility (from memory):

"For example, if you say to your opponent "I hope your flank is protected", what should he think? Are you really about to attack his flank? This is the kind of thing that brings multiplayer to a different level from single player."

Nothing more needs to be said.

Has the writer even PLAYED this game?.......2006-06-17

Everything in this book is wrong, except for the unit stats, but even then some of them are outdated (but we won't hold that against prima). However, being how this was published 2 years after the original release of SC, you'd think that it would have some better multiplayer strategies than "always pay attention" and "a good defense is a good offense." The single player strategies consist of "build cannons at choke" and "build big army." Multiplayer strategy is a joke. If you really want to get better, go download some pro replays; this guide will just make your game worse.

Basics Only.......2003-08-07

Basic information. Some helpful - some copies of the user manual. Good help on scenarios. No help on playing multi-player.

Starcraft 1 strategy guide.......2003-07-23

It is very helpful. especialy the cheats :D

Excellent for beginners as well as pros.......2003-05-17

What can I say, I could have never enjoyed this game without this book, don't hesitate buy it if you can, and if its still available, if you want to play this game intelligently and victoriously

This book isn't worth $80.......2006-02-12

This book covers the very basics of Starcraft that everyone probably knows. It also covers making maps in great detail which is good. Creating custom troops and vehicles gets kind of tricky. Then there are the LOGIC COMMANDS that you have to create to make things work, if you like to write computer languages you will like this part, otherwise god help you because you won't be able to make your creation work at all. This book has lots and lots of SPACE and is worth $30 MAX

Ive made 10 mission for each species with the help of this book. Before I got this book everyone that played my maps on the internet hated them, now because of that book I dont have a minute to wait . The slots fill so fast. This book is the best!

This book is awesome! PPL who don't like it just know a lot.......2000-04-03

This Book is awesome! I suggest if u don't know much about campaign editing and Use Map setting Triggers THEN BUY THIS BOOK! But if u are someone who can just go into campaign editor and know what you are doing DON'T GET IT b/c u know to much.

Horrible Seller.......2007-09-23

The seller has refused to return my emails as well as failed to send me my purchase. I have asked for a refund and they have failed to do that too. Therefore, they made easy money without providing me the item I purchased for my current college course. I totally do not recommend purchasing any item from this seller. If you do, you take on the risk of not receiving anything!

Leadership.......2007-09-23

Haven't actually used this book yet for my class, but I'm sure it's a great textbook.

What a bunch of schlock!!!!.......2007-06-26

This is a required text for a business class at Lawrence Tech. University in Michigan. It is full of diagrams and charts and basic jargon-filled info that everyone should know without having to spend $135! And this is in the FIFTH edition, so that used books are hard to come by, and the price just goes up. If you are buying it you are probably forced to. So sorry! BORING, BORING, BORING, and just filled with common sense that one should know if one has ANY experience at all.

Maybe this would be useful for a writing course on how to bore students to death and make money by making new editions with little changes.

What a rip-off!
