  THE BINDING
  Bad. Very bad. One of those books where the pages instantly begin to fall out. I checked at Amazon and sure enough other people have the same complaint. It's a shame because the book looks nice. It won't hold up except for the most gentle of readers.
  
  CONTENT
  'Hacks' is perhaps over used. There's no coding here, but good advice for Nubs and Noobs and even more advanced players.
  
  Good advice for Nubs and Noobs are strategies on how not to get lost, and how to find home. Also emergency strategies on what to do when you are out in the middle of nowhere and have no shelter.
  
  For more advanced players there are strategies on how to perfect your fighting form, and how to generate aggressive mobs to practice on: mob farm
  
  These days it's unlikely that any single book can cover everything in Minecraft, and this one doesn't give clues, for example, on how to find carrots. Nor does it mention that you can keep dogs, villagers, chickens, etc from drowning by covering a well or any non-running water with a lilly pad.
  
  In terms of presentation the basic page is black with light brown text boxes with black text. The text is largish and easy to read. The material is summarized next to the screen captures. Not all the images are bright.
  
  I think this book is worth a read. It might be worth tracking down a library-binding if it's available. The basic model is sadly lacking.
  
  You will need the internetz if you are newish. Not all terms --like pillar jump-- are defined. Nor does the author cover tidbits like how you actually make bonemeal. The internet will supply this minutiae.

  One of the best Minecraft books available for moderately experienced Minecraft users. Beginners should probably start elsewhere and experts probably already know most of these tricks. Still, I recommend this book for the casual player looking to improve their game a little. Note: Does not actually involve programming or computer "hacking" in the traditional sense, but merely concepts and tips for getting the most out of the base game.

  Another beginner's book. I'm addicted. This is about the same as most other books on the subject, but you'll find the screenshots badly reproduced, and the recipes aren't shown, only described. Like many other Minecraft books, this one is a few versions behind the game. Depending on what you want out the game, this may or may not be for you.

  Not bad but strictly pc in its information. Some does translate to other formats. Somewhat helpful.

  Although there's no index, this book has help that I haven't found elsewhere, such as the combination to the locks in jungle temples.
