Price and delivery was totally fine. Also the book book was wrapped in bubblefoil. Very good. Contact to the seller as well. The items description was missing so i concentrated on the pictures. They looked good. No issues to be seen. But when i got the book today, the slipcase was damaged at the top. I hope i can glue it, but this immense damage was not seen on the picture. It was fotographed and framed that you couldnt see it. The top cardboard was torn apart half way through

The Zombie Apocalypse Draws Nigh... BE YE READY!!!
Firstly, let's get some minor things outta the way... Fer all you sad, unaware people, this book was meant to educate ignorants (normal folk, really) of zombie survival. The book takes itself seriously, and you, the reader, should more or less adhere to the rules of the guide. It gives rather detailed information on gun specs, how to use them, when to use them, what they should be used fer, what not to use (in a zombie outbreak), and where to get them. Actually, this may be a bit of a treat fer gun-lovin, gun-toatin' citizens. Now, this don't mean to go 'round shootin up a buncha people because you suspect they may be a zombie! Don't do that! In fact, the Brooks' guide advises AGAINST such actions! The guide is to prepare you fer the worst of the zombie ... Firstly, let's get some minor things outta the way... Fer all you sad, unaware people, this book was meant to educate ignorants (normal folk, really) of zombie survival. The book takes itself seriously, and you, the reader, should more or less adhere to the rules of the guide. It gives rather detailed information on gun specs, how to use them, when to use them, what they should be used fer, what not to use (in a zombie outbreak), and where to get them. Actually, this may be a bit of a treat fer gun-lovin, gun-toatin' citizens. Now, this don't mean to go 'round shootin up a buncha people because you suspect they may be a zombie! Don't do that! In fact, the Brooks' guide advises AGAINST such actions! The guide is to prepare you fer the worst of the zombie apocalypse. All you need to know this book will tell you. If you feel that some information is wrong, or Brooks is misinformed, feel free to contact him and share yer opinions about the dreaded zombie hordes that could soon plague our beloved, and fer-granted, Mother Earth. ------- The book is quite easy to read and understand. Brooks does not use complicated syntax or overly ostentatious words. There will be puns, however. It is a quick read, but vital nonetheless. The actual "guide" part of the book is about 181 pages (outta 272), and then the rest them pages are recorded zombie accounts from all over the world. Make sure you read those too! They'll tell you what people've done in the event of utter chaos, good and bad. The table of contents in the very beginning spreads everything out fer you. The chapters are divided accordingly: *The Undead: Myths and Realities *Weapons and Combat Techniques *On The Defense *On The Run *On The Attack *Living In An Undead World *Recorded Attacks The very first chapter-section "The Undead: Myths and Realities" tells you what a real zombie IS. It also tells you about the traditional Voodoo zombies (which are real) and movie-magic zombies (which are based on, but are not actual zombies most of the time). Each chapter-section has its own subset of topics to cover. All are full of invaluable information to get you from point A to Z in the life of a survivor. Read through all of these sections, and when yer done... DO IT AGAIN! You'll be taught (or told advice) about staying in shape during the Zombie Apocalypse, looking fer proper shelter (but almost never a permanent home), securing a house/building/edifice against groves of the undead or bandits/gangs, scouting fer food/supplies/help/survivors, keeping zombies away as well as post-zombie-apocalyptic bandits and pirates, travelling as light as possible through day and night, riding in the right vehicles/automobiles & when they are appropriate, using weaponry to yer advantage, travelling over various terrain, surviving in the harshest climates/environments on Earth, recreating civilization after the "end of the world", possibly living as one out of the handful of survivors in an Undead World, & much more! ------- I enjoy reading this book. It's a fun experience as well as an important life-saving manual. It's not that expensive either (no more than $11 or $12 on the Internet). I feel a lot safer now that I have this guide in my hand. I'll have to keep it within reach should any situation occur. No government cover-ups... yet. I will definitely be on the look-out fer any sign of the undead. In the mean time, I'll be training and preparing fer what could be a zombie outbreak. Goodluck to yall. Peace

Necessary Handbook for Zombie Survival!
Max Brooks, kin to legendary film director/actor Mel Brooks, has found a glaringly obvious niche to be filled in the Zombie Undead world of fiction - how to survive in it! This is a must have for any Zombie fan! The drawings are pretty crude, but this is not a mass produced high dollar novel. It's more or less a handbook. There are techniques on defense tactics as well as weaponry (a machete is best - it's quiet, saves ammunition and completely disables the attacker); Failure and Plan B situations; stealth movements - balance and posture; food and rations; escape vehicles (a bicycle is recommended - it's quiet and has better manueverability); and many, many more creative ways to stay alive. The book does seem to extend the farcical fictional joke of Zombie Survival, like a person who ...

The book does seem to extend the farcical fictional joke of Zombie Survival, like a person who tells a joke and then continues to add on to that joke extending it out ad-nauseam. But, when the dead rise to consume the flesh of the living...this would be a good book to hold onto.

The Zombie Survival Guide
This is a pretty excellent book for anyone interested or obsessed with zombies. It is a concise analysis of the undead threat and how to prepare for it. Brooks takes everything into account and presents this book as a worst-case survival manual used to prepare for and survive a zombie attack of any kind. Brooks also wrote World War Z, a book of accounts taken from The Zombie War. I read this book first and I would highly recommend it. While World War Z is a purely fictional account and The Zombie Survival Guide is more of a how-to book, they share many similar elements and ideas. While the Survival Guide is interesting, after reading World War Z it was a disappointment. If you are going to read only one of the two, I would overwhelmingly recommend World War Z, but if you plan on ... This is a pretty excellent book for anyone interested or obsessed with zombies.

Excellent and fun book, zombies beware!
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. What is there to say? Well for one this is a excellent read. You can easily pick it up, read a few pages, and put it down, so it makes it a great purchase for a casual reader, yet has enough content to satisfy a more hardcore reader like myself. The book is laid out much like a guide, so literary style really is not applied much here, as its mainly a teacher teaching through written word if you understand my meaning. Grammar and flow are great, even though I tend to be lenient on any hardcore literary rules since if its enjoyable I don't care to much. The book does include some illustrations, which help convey the almost crudeness of the zombie in the way the artist depicts various things in a complete by more rigid style I suppose I would ...

The book is a good size, and the cover is sturdy and the whole effect really feels like your reading the real deal, although of course it is purely fiction. Which brings up probably my only "complaint" in that the ideas listed only offer how to defend and defeat this specific type of "zombie". Many of the ideas are of course cross type capable, but you will sometimes think to yourself that some things seem a little stupid or whatnot, but you have to remember to take it in the context of these specific zombies, and the idea that the world has had to deal with them for thousands of years. All in all its an excellent book. Fun, riveting, and even a little creepy at times. If you are at all a Zombie fan, you should definitely consider picking up a copy of this wonderful book.
