City of Villains by Eric Mylonas (2005, Loose-leaf)

I've always like prime guides in the past but when I bought the city of villains binder guide I was extremely dissapointed. The binder itself is flimsy, it feels like it's made out of cardboard, and it has almost no usefull information in it. It basically just gives a paragraph or two on everything, with no real specifics. Just by glancing through it I have found many typos, for example in the single origin enhancement tables, it says one of the origin types is much lower then all of the others, when they should all be equal. Also for the $35 you only get one of the binders, but when you have to "buy" the updates you get both, supposidly for a low price. If they are going to sell the updates together why not sell the binders together. It says it's the first binder guide as well, but World of Warcraft has a binder guide out before it which I am pretty sure gave you free updates to it, but it was a different company.
This binder does not have things like the badge lists, or quest lists, or power pool lists, which is something that most people look for in these type of guides. A lot of the things in this guide you can find in the instruction booklet.
If you don't want this item for collectible purposes I would just get a binder and print the information from fan sites since then you will get the information you will want.
