FoxyCryptid 4,330 May 13, 2013 Share May 13, 2013 This popped on on Amazon for pre-order a few months back and it seems to not have gotten much hype, so I figured I post about it here. It's a 256 page hardcover with episode guides, maps, bios, song lyrics, and whatever else they can cram in it, you can get it for $14 so the price isn't bad either, I already have it pre-ordered, myself. It also has a 12+ rating instead of the usual 3+ on pony books, which is interesting, and leads me to think it might actually be written at a decent reading level. It also says on the cover it has forwards from Megan and Lauren. http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-Guidebook/dp/0316247545/ref=la_B001JOTT1W_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368461071&sr=1-1 10 "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoniesPlease 365 May 13, 2013 Share May 13, 2013 The 12+ rating is interesting. I think it would certainly be worth a read, and will probably get it myself. Also, I imagine the forwards from Meghan and Lauren will be very insightful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunia 332 May 13, 2013 Share May 13, 2013 YES (LIFTS UP HAND) I'm totally going to get this book its really seems like a cool book to look in too and have lots of fun with the book 1 Signature made by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygen 6,066 May 13, 2013 Share May 13, 2013 I was like eh about it until the 12+ then I started to get kinda curious, I wonder what... dark secrets lie in that book? . I guess I'll probaly hear about it here within a bit of time of it getting released. Sounds interesting at the very least, but I'm a closet brony and thus won't be buying. 1 Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

Jamie 302 May 14, 2013 Share May 14, 2013 Il be buying it! Although I'm gunna have a hard time trying to hide it since no one in my house knows that I'm a brony. Il just have to keep it under my bed or something I didn't even know it was 12+! That just makes me want to buy it more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinRarity 1,605 May 15, 2013 Share May 15, 2013 All right that's it. 12+ rating and forward from Lauren with an introduction from Meghan and Jaysson? I'm pre-ordering this sucker. I mean, I was excited for it already, but not enough to pre-order... but now I have been sucked in.

Dr. Love 88 May 15, 2013 Share May 15, 2013 I just hope it doesn't say something like "Magic is the most important Element", because that would just further imply that Twilight is better than her friends, besides, everyone knows that Laughter is more important than anything. 3 "Please, call me your little snow bunny" ~Mizore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metemponychosis 1,261 May 15, 2013 Share May 15, 2013 Whoa! I missed this one! Thanks a bunch for the heads up! Hardcover, 12+, foreword by Lauren Faust, intro by Meghan McCarthy... I'm SO buying this. 2 https://www.fimfiction.net/user/32864/Metemponychosis For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out.

Godspeed Edge 34 May 15, 2013 Share May 15, 2013 Of course I'll be buying it! it'll go great with my other coffee-table books. They're all art books and profiles from video games and manga, so adding a similar pony book won't be one bit embarrassing for me. Steal of a deal by the way. Most of the books I get like this one from other series are 30 dollars and up. 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Student of Psychology | Inventor | Gamer | Otaku | Brony | Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hdc 155 May 16, 2013 Share May 16, 2013 I just pre-ordered this from Amazon, only because it was suggested when I was ordering the DVD's. Their marketing strategy sure worked on me. Hopefully, it will be worth it after international shipping and all. I expect some high quality stuff . 1 We use our stomachs to digest ya!

Fhaolan 4,483 May 16, 2013 Share May 16, 2013 I just hope it doesn't say something like "Magic is the most important Element", because that would just further imply that Twilight is better than her friends, besides, everyone knows that Laughter is more important than anything. They could do it like the Amber Role Playing game where they have 'x is the most important Statistic because' for each of the statistics, just to confuse the matter.

Pachirisu 42 May 20, 2013 Share May 20, 2013 Oh yeah, this looks amazing. I doubt I'll see it in any stores around here (maybe comic shops...?), so I'll buy it as soon as it shows up online. Can't wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansel 1,512 May 20, 2013 Share May 20, 2013 (edited) Yup! My friend ordered it for me. I'm waiting for it to arrive, supposed to get here at some point in June. Edited May 20, 2013 by Hansel 1 Pancakes taste like well seasoned DVD cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttashy 325 May 21, 2013 Share May 21, 2013 I really want to order one!!! They ship out June 4th along with the aurora pony plush toys! I cannot wait to read it and fawn over the pictures!

~Chaotic Fireball~ 499 May 21, 2013 Share May 21, 2013 (edited) I am definitely hoping to get this!! It will be my first pony merch ever! (G4, that is...) I'm really interested in buying it, and I hope that I can get it at a reasonable price if I find it selling near where I live. If not, I'll get my uncle to order it for me on Amazon or something. Yay! I can't help but wonder what all those 256 pages are about, and how much info they can store in that single book.

kirbyboi 588 May 26, 2013 Share May 26, 2013 Just saw this, but on the Barnes and Noble site. Looks so cool, and detailed! And it has an RD reference....weee! Maybe this is geared towards the older fans? :3 Hope so! But it contains so much info....so I'll think about getting it! It'll be pretty useful! But I can't wait to get it!!! I'll try to preorder it as soon as possible! This'll be good! Real good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrierCosmique 146 May 26, 2013 Share May 26, 2013 Absolutely yes, will buy the book. I hope it will provide more information about the Equestrian world at all, history, geography, events, characters et cetera. 14€ seems a good price to me. I like secondary literature of fictional universes.. Alex, Alex! You're walking away from history! History! Did Chris Columbus say he wanted to stay home? No!

RockinRarity 1,605 June 3, 2013 Share June 3, 2013 Guess who got her book a day early?? :3 Amazon shipping is super speedy. Anyways, I will give my review after I read through it.

Hansel 1,512 June 3, 2013 Share June 3, 2013 (edited) The book finally arrived yesterday and I've read through most of it. It's pretty awesome, especially for the price. It's nicely designed, laid out well, and an interesting read. Definitely worth the money. I would have liked to see some more concept art, and some storyboards would have been interesting to look through, but I guess this is more of a series guide-book then an art book. I hope they release an art book at some point, actually. But yes, I'm quite pleased with it. Edited June 3, 2013 by Hansel 1 Pancakes taste like well seasoned DVD cases.
