So I picked up the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks today.

Is it actually any good or all just fiction?

Never read it, so can't say.

Most zombies I've ever ran into - the magical kind - don't spread anything except bacterial infection that results in gangrene if untreated.

Some of the advice is, as a general rule, sound. Keep your distance, conserve ammo, and avoid when possible.

There is some good advice in there, but unfortunately it got buried when someone decided to turn the book into a novelty item in order to make it commercially viable.

As a general rule, the most conservative parts of the book are generally the most accurate. Escape and evade are always your best bets. Engage only when you have a clear advantage or are unable to escape. Engage from range, stay mobile, stay calm and make every shot count.

Also, not every zombie works the same way.
