Summary: Pretty good for beginners
Review: If you are truly a beginner, then this book is pretty good. It does a decent job of explaining all the different formats (Type 1, Extended, Type II, Sealed Deck, Booster Drafting ... etc.). If you have no clue what that stuff is, then you should pick this book up. There's a nice walk-thru of a complete game with preconstructed decks which was pretty cool. And there is also a nice introduction to Magic The Gathering Online, which can be intimidating to newbies as well. Overall, I give it 5 stars for newbies. If you ain't a newbie, then this book isn't targetted for you, but it still can be fun to read on the can. ;-)

Summary: Great to get you into Magic: The Gathering
Review: One of the best books I've seen on Magic written for the casual and just starting out player. Gives some great hints and tips on what to look for in a deck, and how to plan and build winning decks and strategies. Goes over main concepts and the ideas behind each color, the best cards to look for and how to build to beat your opponents. Also gives insight into tournaments of all types and what's required. I really liked it and would recommend it highly.

Summary: Poorly put together book
Review: This is not actually a book per se but a collection of poorly written articles. It displays a few of the standard decks, but gives no strategy about deck building. It also does not explain or elaborate on the basic mechanics of the game. So if it is aimed at introducing the game, it fails. For the experienced player it is nothing new or interesting.
