  • VERY long wait..but worth it!
Format: Paperback
Ordered April 21, 2020, finally received June 17, 2020 (almost 2 months after purchase), though I believe this is NOT the fault of Amazon, as the hardcover copy I pre-ordered in March 2020 through my local Gamestop still has not arrived to the store for pickup. Once the guide was finally shipped, it arrived VERY quickly, literally next day. It was delivered through UPS & after 7pm I started to worry that it would go back to UPS & delivery delayed until the next day, as I've experienced numerous times with UPS, but they actually delivered it around 9pm, which I was very pleasantly surprised by! Though I've had previous negative experiences with UPS as a delivering service, I can say this experience was 100% positive, thanks to the amazing driver delivering packages in this area. Back to the book; It arrived sealed in plastic(can be seen in image I uploaded with my review), even though it is a paperback copy, it still has a beautiful book sleeve with a bright image/artwork from the game, that continues onto the back cover of the book sleeve. It's VERY heavy, 4lbs of AC goodness! (it makes me wonder how much the hardcover book weighs, lol) The actual cover has a different image/artwork, it is a 2 toned blue background with pale blue/white wave design, made to look like water, with what *looks* like a polaroid picture, one on the front cover, a different one on the back cover, under the sleeve. The artwork & images inside are just as vibrant & beautiful, & the quality of this guide is amazing! I haven't gotten to read it cover to cover, yet, since it only just arrived, but flipping through I saw sections of the villagers with their pictures & all information about them. It shows all items/clothing obtainable, including color variants. & so far it appears to have literally everything you'd want & expect from an official companion guide, though I will update this review if any of my review changes after reading the guide in its entirety, but at first glance it appears to be just as useful as any other, as well as previous AC, companion guides. The overall quality of the book is great in my opinion, it's a HUGE guide, with tons if information, beautiful images/artwork, & a great companion to have as you play, as well as a beautiful collection item to add to my AC collection. I hope this information can be of use to someone looking to purchase this guide- but seriously, if you want it, I'd DEFINITELY recommend purchasing it sooner rather than later, since all AC merchandise becomes 'rare' pretty quickly & prices increase at an astounding rate (*I purchased the guide almost 2 months ago exactly for a few dollars less than what the SAME listing has it listed as now.*) All in all I'm very happy with the guides quality, & hoping the information inside will be of the same quality. Also, just for the record, I purchased this guide with my own personal money, & the reviews/opinions I post are 100% my own. I have not be compensated or asked to write this review & chose to do so on my own accord after receiving the item I purchased to help other Crossers who may be on the fence about purchasing this guide. ... show more

  • Unsurpassed Excellence! (Bought used)
Format: Paperback
I have never, EVER seen such a complete (and fun to read) manual! I have been playing Animal Crossing New Hrizons for about 2 years off and on. It is such a relaxing game for adults like me! This book has taught me MANY, simple things that maybe I should have known but didn't. Like being able to push an object to move it...instead of picking it up and placing it down in a new (outdoor) spot like I was doing. I learned that I can look into a mirror to change/edit my character's appearance ...not my clothes...my appearance! Eyes, haircut, etc. can be changed. Also, I have been walking all over the island forever! I didn't know that I could RUN. Geesh! Anyway...I need to go. I want to find orange and peach trees! I don't have those and I want them. I better look that up...after I have a cup of coffee at the Roost. ... show more

  • Backlog of orders - For me it's worth the wait
Format: Paperback
For context, I ordered my guide in February with it stating an original release date of March 20, 2020. For whatever reason I only just now received the companion guide on June 16, 2020. I suspect it was a combination of COVID-19 distribution challenges as well as the overwhelming popularity of the game. Needless to say, if you are to just now order the guide I would not expect it for at least 3 to 6 months. Despite the delays, the guide has not disappointed. If I'm being realistic there is really no reason to purchase paper guides these days; however, I still like to have them in my collection. I do use them for quick reference when I don't feel like searching online, they look great on a shelf and most importantly they're a great way to look back at the games humble beginnings 10 or 20 years in the future. I think of them as a memorial of sorts. This guide has everything you would need to know if you're a new AC player or even a veteran. It goes into great detail and covers the full 365 calendar of "stock" events/items, but it's important to note that it does NOT include any DLC events/items. Since this game is constantly growing it will quickly be outdated for anything after release. Just consider that when you are looking to make your purchase. ... show more

  • Overview
Format: Paperback
I ordered this book back in mid April and finally got it today. The epidemic played a huge roll in the back orders, so I was willing to be patient and I’m happy I finally have one. That being said, I’ll go into a few things I like about the book, as well as a few cons. Pros: It’s a huge book, filled with lots of information from weather stations on the TV to listing all of the villagers. It has step by step walk throughs of crafting and the basics which is perfect for anyone who is new to the game. Cons: As others have mentioned, the book doesn’t have everything that has been released in the game (cherry blossoms, Redd, Leif, etc.), however I don’t think this is a big deal because obviously it was manufactured before the updates were released. Only hoping that they give people who purchased the book updated resources in the future. Another review mentioned how the book lists clothes and accessories in pretty much every color, but failed to do the same for all of the furniture. I agree this is slightly inconvenient just because you don’t know what everything looks like unless you use an online site or app to find it now. Another minor thing that I personally didn’t like was how they organized the villagers. It just seemed unorganized and all over the place, but maybe they were just trying to take up as much space as they could. Overall though, I’m very happy to have the book to just glance over when I’d like and can add it to my bookshelf. Would it have been more useful when I first got the game? Most definitely. Is it worth it now a few months after release? Eh, I probably could’ve saved my money, but it’s still a nice guide, especially for new players. ... show more

  • Great Tool for the Animal Crossing Fan - But Already Needs an Update
Format: Paperback
I wanted a guide to track my items and this more than fit the bill! It’s a textbook sized encyclopedia of everything in the game, and the quality is outstanding with a nice dust jacket and beautiful photos. And it’s perfect for collectors: it’s stuffed with lists for everything and very organized. It’s easy to find what you’re looking for with the frequent references to other related parts of the book (for example, the seasons page tells you where you can find the seasonal DIYs). As someone who’s played 500+ hours on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, I wasn’t sure exactly how much NEW material I’d learn from it, but I found many helpful tricks and new pieces of info that I didn’t know about, like an extremely detailed TV channel guide, turnip price patterns, how to boost the rating of your home, and the game’s weather patterns! The only negative thing about this book is that it’s already outdated at only 6 months old. There’s no info on holidays or their crafts/items, but seasonal crafts are included. Newer characters are missing (no Leif, Pascal or Gullivarrr), and most importantly, no Jolly Redd or his artwork! I was really hoping for some info on how to spot fake art, but I guess I’ll have to stick to using other guides for that for now. I don’t regret my purchase - for the price it’s well worth it. But I am looking forward to a second edition! ... show more

  • High Quality, Fantastic Resource!
Format: Paperback
Whilst this book now as of July 2020 is outdated given it was release prior to some crucial updates such as Sea Creatures being added; It is still a great resource to have on hand. It is 430 pages of pure detail. Its especially great for introductory to the game itself if you have little to no history with Animal Crossing as a franchise. Listing a basic overview on how to play the game and items as well as prices and various tidbits of information but even to the seasoned players is a great resource to have at your disposal. Many have reported getting bad copies with severe damage to a wide number of pages; however my copy did not have these flaws, and I imagine that batch has been distributed and is no more by this point. Many also complain of constant delays but mine came in a matter of a few days. Again I think this was a “at release” issue back when it was a preorder item. The book is a decent weight, and the stock for the paper is thick and feels very high end, no cheap feeling flimsy paper found here folks. Mine came holding a heavy chemical scent but after unwrapping it from the protective shrink film and letting it sit for a few hours the smell is now gone. You can tell that a lot of pride effort and thought went into the making of this guide and I cannot recommend it enough. If you have Animal Crossing New Horizons, you need this guide; Period. ... show more

  • Awesome guide!
Format: Paperback
This guide is gorgeous, and I'm so glad I preordered it! I order it back in February and just received it yesterday (May 20th). Shipping took a long time, but this isn't the seller's/distributors fault. There is a pandemic going around causing delays with both printing and shipping, and this isn't really something that can be easily worked around, so for people leaving bad reviews about the PRODUCT based on the state of shipping and printing, be patient and humble yourself. There are much bigger issues going on with the world than you getting your video game book, and you sound like petulant children! As for the guide itself, it's absolutely gorgeous, and VERY comprehensive. It's a paperback but it's very sturdy, heavy, and feels good in your hands. I was for sure that by now I knew everything the game had to offer, but there is actually a lot of information in this guide that I didn't know about. It covers everything you can think of, in detail, from full hybrid flower charts, stats and probability for things like when the campsite will get a new visitor, full list of all items, clothing, accessories, etc. (carefully organized and all include clear pictures of each item), terraforming best practices such as how to properly set inclines, to a full list of all optional villagers and pictures of what their starter homes look like. I could go on. Essentially this is an extremely detailed book filled with beautiful illustrations and lots of fun details to discover. It was definitely worth the wait! ... show more
