I'm working on a few reviews of strategy guides for my pal Keri Honea's informative and interesting Strategy Guide Reviews site, and the first of three of these articles in the pipeline has been published today.  It's a look at the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag strategy guide; the publisher was kind enough to supply a hardcover Collector Edition of the guide for evaluation with bonus content (even books have "DLC" now!) and I was very impressed with the gorgeous artwork, overwhelming attention to detail, and full blowout of everything one would need to know about the game.  Part walkthrough and part manual, it's an excellent (yet still optional) companion to sailing around the Caribbean.  Head over to her site and check it out, won't you?
