Does this exist?

I own the original strategy guide and the Kunark guide. I can't find a source to buy the Velious one.. nor have I ever seen one.
Does anyone own this or have more information about it?

Documentation is adequate. More printed material would have been nice, but the designers prefer to remain aloof on new spells and their effects. This expansion was designed in such secrecy that {@Prima} cancelled their guide for lack of information.

Yes, Barnes and Noble / Borders allows you to place orders on out-of-print books. As soon as they get an available copy, they send it to you.

Apparently it is real. I found it from Abebooks. It wasn't exactly cheap though.

Yep, I saw that and know it is not what I had sought after. I looked at alot of places and finally found one in a UK bookstore. I do not have it in my hands so I will just have to wait and see. I only have shipping confirmations etc. but until I do have it I will remain skeptical.

If I'm not mistaken they did make one. I'll call my brother and have him look in my old closet since my mother never cleaned it out when I left for Iraq back in 03. I'm sure it's still in there.

They do have some good information though. Not all of it is useful but some of it is.

Why would you want this out of date book? For information or to collect because you love EQ? Or something else?
nilbog

All of those things.

I would actually like to read that. I have the Kunark guide and although its pretty off about class specifics it was accurate when talking about spell details, skill caps, zone information and tradeskills.

If it happens in Server chat or Bugs, I'll ban people. No biggie.

I think at this point Nilbog needs photographic evidence.
