I've been looking for this book for some time now, and have been anticipating the movie ever since I heard paramount purchased the rights. Sadly the book has been sold out nearly every time i check Barnes and noble upon reading this I'm going to order it on amazon in preparation for the movie.

I read Brooks' "The Zombie Survival Guide," but not this latest one. From reviews the second book sounds better than the first.
