Summary: Great guide
Comment: I used to be a huge fan of Privateer and I've been waiting for a game like Freelancer to come out for a long time. When it finally came out, I was so excited that I decided to pick up the guide as well - something that I don't normally do. What a great decision that was. This guide has been invaluable in helping me along through the game. The commodity stats were extremely helpful and the ship combat tactics saved me many times throughout the campaign. When I resort to using guides I usually just find the ones online but I doubt there would be any online guides that could substitute for this one. Highly recommended.

Summary: Flawed. Walkthrough is the only useful data.
Comment: I was expecting so much more from this guide. I have 30+ game guides in my library and this one is one of the worst.
Okay, so the walkthroughs are helpful and certain strategy description does help.
It is in the stats that this guide stumbles miserably. I have found errors in the maps (i.e. several maps say that such jump point links to such system, while in reality it jumps to a different system...). And the ships` stats are wrong (i.e. the Anubis does NOT carry class 10 weapons). From this point on, I did not bother with any other data (i.e. commodities, guns, missiles...), as I do not trust this book anymore. All the author needed to do is to play the game. Ships' stats are not hard to find. It is displayed on the screen. These are inexcusable errors.
Also, this guide does not describe any aspect or secrets in the game that are "to be discovered" outside of the main campaign, so no spoilers here. This may be a good thing as it allows you to still find stuffs that were not covered in the guide. I just needed to mention this for those who expected a complete exposure of all hidden secrets of the game.
The only good thing about this book is the walkthrough. Which is still bad since you can always find a free one on the Internet somewhere.
This is one of those guides that felt more like a waste of money.
I should point out that the game itself is very good and is highly recommended. Just don't bother with this guide.

Summary: Lots of info!
Comment: This book is crammed with info and a great addition to the game. I really appreciatd the system maps and commodity prices to create my trade routes. Good guide
