Guides schmides!!!
You don`t ever need to buy game guides now that everyone has access to the internet, they are over priced tat!
No guide is as comprehensive as the knowledge and experience held by the gamers of NTSC-UK and the rest of the world. Gamefaqs, NTSC-UK and posibly xbox.com (where I am most of the time) is all you need.
Guides, pah!
edit - There are loads of books that do many things, some are good, some are **** and some are better to have on certain playthroughs. There are good explanations for these on gamefaqs.
Personally I go straight for the engineering book in Paradise Plaza to make pipes, 2x4 and any other construction type items last 3 times longer. Eventhough it`s posible to make them last 27 times longer I don`t bother because Adam`s chainsaw is available early in the game.
In the same book shop is a book on entertainment book, this makes entertainment related items last 3 times longer, this is rubbish until you aquire Adam`s mini chainsaw, but also a chainsaw is a construction related item it`ll last 9 times longer when combined with the engineering book. In Wonderland Plaza there is a book on criminology that will make psychopath related items last 3 times longer so if you have all three books on aquisition of the mini chainsaw you get 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 times longer.
As well the above, there are books that will multiply the effects of health items, increased PP points on zombie kills and increased PP on photographs. The latter may help when getting the erotic shot of Jessie to piss Kent off in the photo challenge.
Basically the posibilities are endless but the first time I played through the game I used zero books. They do become very handy though on later playthroughs especially when going for tougher achievements.
