To detail more:
A little bigger than a half A4 size, good quality paper and soft cover: it is handled and lugs around without fear.
It is a bit heavy (200 pages with index anyway), making for a very fun game that also provided minecraft, for which there is no doc completed to date (Mojang lot of books but now by theme: Redstone, construction ... tec .. and English)
I think just everything is ready in any case to start or complete their knowledge (after, only the net will give you access to the wildest creations that sparked this game. And for comprehensive information and updates regularly , see site minecraft-fr.gamepedia.com/Minecraft_Wiki, and in English, minecraftforum.net + sites and youtube en course).
- Chapter 1: purchase and install the game
- Chapter 2: First Steps in survival mode (premers tools, shelter, hunger ...)
- Chapter 3: Advanced survival (agriculture, breeding farms, other ores, improve his house ...)
- Chapter 4: exploration (weather, biomes, locomotion, ruins, nether, villages ...)
- Chapter 5: Advanced mechanical (carts, Redstone, potions, divination, trap monster, boss, fireworks, tags ...)
- Chapter 6: Building / deco
- Chapter 7: Multiplayer (create / join a server, orders ...)
- Chapter 8: go away + (customization, World generation)
- Chapter 9: other versions (consoles, smarphone)
- Appendices: all "recipes" Building + list of all monsters
The overall presentation is nice, and there are a lot of pictures. Whenever we speak of an item, we see his recipe in the margin (+ little tricks General)
In seeking the defects, I would say that it lacks this:
- They do not give the version of the game which is based on the guide.
This is important, especially as some data is outdated, necessarily (minecraft evolves without stop), as the chapter on changing the game sounds
- Mod not really addressed (some anyway page 170) but that's just normal, you can not do everything, and here only the net can help you see the fluctuation of the subject
- Their skeleton trap is nice, but the player who will do it's going to take some arrows in the state ^^
- No table with the numbers of items Id (for give)
- No chapter on block orders (but another book on how to create an adventure map alphabetically would be nice, especially not seen the latest big improvements could include young ca map pvp anyway?)
Well actually not much to reproach (apart from the version of the game, important) because you can always find things to complain about, but overall the job is quite big shot, and most importantly, the content and appearance of the book makes you want to keep on hand and leaf through it easily when we're looking for something.
And good point too, I have often found things I did not expect to find or not as detailed.
Congratulations to the authors so.

FINALLY:
- As children gift for fans of the game (unless they have already done three times around the question), this book in French is very responsive and developed / comprehensive than the Anglo-Saxon books of the moment. They should enjoy and spend much time on it.
- For minecraft fans in general, they will learn things may be 2-3, and certainly should be happy to own this book that includes well done at the same place a lot of info and useful tables.
ps: I do not know but the authors saw that there is likely they read these lines: I really expect a book well done on creating solo map (adventure) or multi (pvp or not, with difficulties in recent uncertain side of plugins)
Despite its few years of existence, there is still much to be learned from minecraft, especially for the youth and their appetite to create and learn (script writing, graphics changes, mod creation: minecraft can be a good engine for all this and more, and it seems that you have the material to do so)
