 Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, also known as OHOTMU, is a guide which attempts to detail the imaginary universe of Marvel Comics.
He appointed Mark Gruenwald editor of the project, and in Gruenwald's hands the project gained its published name and also grew in scope to cover all aspects of the Marvel Universe, although Gruenwald himself noted it was not comprehensive.
Critics of the handbook have argued that the level of detail within the guide effectively limited the ability of writers to innovate, a charge Gruenwald dismissed, reputedly stating that the information presented was only the most recent data and was subject to change.

At the time that the Handbook (henceforth referred to as OHOTMU) was published, Marvel had published thousands of comic books, featuring adventures by such pop culture icons as the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Hulk, Daredevil and others.
In these comics, countless characters, groups of characters, locales and technologies had been introduced — so much so that it was felt that a comprehensive guide to it all was necessary.
These releases are intended to supplement the line of Marvel Encyclopedias, each of which is also themed towards a specific Marvel "family", such as the Marvel Knights imprint.

This book could be called The Magus's Handbook, since it's essentially a guide with lots of extra information and material for magus characters.
This chapter deals with the events in the life of a typical magus, if there is such a thing like a "typical" magus.
Logically, after information about where a magus works (his laboratory), we have some words about where he sleeps, the sanctum (which also tends to include the laboratory), with things like why fellow magi hate to enter other magi's sancta, and why magi are so protective of sancta.

Although large sections of Barrett's book were taken directly from Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, The Magus is nonetheless an important book that belongs on the shelf of any ceremonial magician.

 Hacker's Handbook
Every computer buff has met at least one cruncher with a vast store of commercial programs, all of which have somehow had the protection removed--and perhaps the main title subtly altered to show the cruncher's technical skills--but which are then never actually used at all.
Hacking is an activity like few others: it is semi-legal, seldom encouraged, and in its full extent so vast that no individual or group, short of an organisation like GCHQ or NSA, could hope to grasp a fraction of the possibilities.
In keeping with the 'handbook' nature of this publication, I have put my most solid advice in the form of a trouble-shooting appendix (I), so this chapter talks around the techniques rather than spelling them out in great detail.

Got to admit it, I`m a powergamer who likes to play melee classes, also love the paladin way, and hate the rogue one, so tried to choose a nice combination of both roleplaying and efficiency.
From looking in the players handbook it seems that a maxed out Barbarian will be extremely strong given the fact how damage reduction works in 3rd edition.
Also with the new rules that you cannot do a full attack if you move more than five feet ranged weapons become more powerful, but they are ofcourse limited by the visual range in computer games.
