The book content is amazing, I have no problem with that.
My issues however is that the book i received cuts off at page 446 then switches to a different book. It also happens to be right during one of the high points. I am quite upset about this.

This book is so ridiculously full of awesome stuff. The sample pages barely even scratch the surface. This book touches on just about everything you can think of...and we've found it to be a good conversation starter in the evenings. (What are stars made of? What's a missionary? What are the books of the Bible? Etc...depending on the age of your kids.)

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: I love Amazon and get most of my books here. But I didn't get Radical here, I got it from the publisher site because it was a LOT cheaper AND they have Free Shipping as well. (Not sure if Amazon will let me include the link or not, but I'll try...if they don't, just google New Growth Press, and check them out because we found them maybe 2 months ago, and they've got some great stuff):

I just happened to be on Amazon grabbing some $1.99 Kindle Books from the same publisher, and saw this and wanted to add my two cents. Enjoy!

Candidly, I have only scanned a few chapters, but despite my having seen hundreds of business books and grown cynical about them as a category, I am impressed with this one:

1. Plenty of non-obvious, actionable content.  For example, if provides specific examples of how one can be assertive without being unnecessarily controversial.
2. Enough examples to keep the text from being too dense.
3. Crystalline writing.
4. The ideal structure: 10 points, one per chapter.
5. The exemplars' first AND last names are listed, which suggests that they are real people, not "composite" anecdotes.
6. And my personal peccadillo: men are not disproportionately portrayed as the bad guy. In most books these days, most of the people shown doing good things are women.

I'd call this book a veritable career bible except for two things: it's shorter and it's easier to read.

i really love the book but not necessarily some of the language. Overall, I love it

No need to reiterate other folks' comments regarding the beautiful illustrations, the faithfulness to the material, the fresh mechanics... Truly an amazing achievement in my mind, and one which needs to be experienced if adventuring in middle-earth is your thing.

So why not give the product 'five stars'?... Because the binding, on my copy anyway, seems to be the work of amateurs. I take great care with my books (RPG or not) and was utterly shocked (disappointed really) when the binding unraveled on my second read (!)... Contacted Cubicle 7 and am now awaiting a response. I plan to update this review when/if the issue is resolved.

Overall, a very solid product but simply not deserving of a perfect score in its present production run...

UPDATE (May 2013): Following a few email exchanges with Cubicle7, a brand new box-set was sent at no additional cost. Kudos to the team for taking the binding problem seriously. Rating bumped to five stars as a result. I was so utterly impressed with the customer service, I purchased all other additional products available (Tales of Wilderland and Loremaster Screen ; both HIGHLY recommended). I plan to support this product line for as long as Cubicle7 holds the license.

I really prefer paperbacks, but I'm going to take a leap of faith with this one since the content looks incredible.

The content is top notch and an easier read than the PMBOK (still a necessity though). However, unlike other reviewers, my house has adequate lighting and reading the book is no issue for me. The pages are a light grey and the watermarks aren't overbearing.

It is an amazing book. I guess because it is well detailed. Like I said it is an amazing book.

I bought the book with the narrated version included so I can listen to it at work, I have never been so drawn into something than I have with this book. Being a huge fan of the games as well, this book was something I needed, and I am not disappointed in the slightest. Well done, Scott & Kira.

I will be reading this over many times. There is a lot in here to grasp, and i will not be able to do that in 1 or 2 readings. I personally like material like this that cause me to study, learn and grow. Not at all disappointed in this.

That book is amazing!
I don't need to talk about the story but that particular edition is really great.
Tons of illustration, hard cover, ...
It feels like reading an old book!
Love it !

The Book content is great; what I expected and more.
I was a little disappointed b/c the last 1/4 pages stuck together at the top. I guess when it came off the printer it didn't cut/separate them completely. I had to break the pages apart with my hand and envelope cutter.  I only had a couple of pages with a slight tear, so I didn't complain,as the book is functional and no info was lost. Other than that. the book arrived on time and is in brand new condition.

There is nothing about the book that I dislike, I found it to be very interested.

I just received my copy and all looks good. Hardcover looks good quality, package was ok. The book is huge, I haven't read it yet, but I did took a look at it and it seems extremely complete. It has a walktrough section that's extremely clever, it tackles this huge adventure with an elegant simplicity. Other sections goes deeper into other contents of the game, such as shrines, enemies, etc. So far so good.

But I have to say, I find the printing quality not that good. Colors seems a little off to me. I don't know if its because of the conversion from RGB colors (monitor colors) to CMYK (printing colors), or if I just got a copy from a bad printing batch... but, as a graphic designer, I nottice it and it bothers me a little. Is not bad, but it's definitively not optimal. For example, the maps looks a little too dark. I nottice that, in game, the map does have those colors, so I think they didn't make the proper adjustments for the images while converting them to CMYK. A few changes in photoshop could have gone a long ways in this.

But as far as content goes, the guide seems perfect for me. I'll update this comment as soon as I read it.

okay, so i was a little hesitant getting this book as it comes in as a set of three, Vol A, B, and C
i was worried that it would be different that the one whole book, revised or edited in any way.
now, it does have a different ISBN number than the whole book does, that is not an issue here.

it wasnt, if anything i love that its separated, it means when i go to class my book is lighter and i have less weight to carry around.
the book came in on time, packaged nicely for such a heavy book.
i have had this book for over a month now and it happened to be cheaper than the whole book and man did i luck out
its great. i would definitely recommend, and buy from them again.

PHENOMENAL!

I'm leaving it at that because I don't want to ruin it for those who haven't read it yet.
