Status : Offline | Ahh, that explains it, I guess. I would at least encourage people to try the game for a few hours before they need the strategy guide. But I've never read a Nancy Drew strategy guide; maybe they have lot of behind the scenes stuff and cool facts about the production of the game.

What novel? I know The Final Scene came with a novel, but that's the only one I heard about.

Status : Offline | Yeah, that's what I was saying. I'd rather just get the book at a used bookstore or something for 25 cents. But hey, if these repackaged re-releases cause the originals to drop down to half the original price, I'm all for them.

Status : Offline | Update: Stores like Best Buy and Target are now selling Scarlet Hand and Ghost Dogs with the books. The original games sold just by themselves are no longer on the shelves.
Unlike The Final Scene, where the book is tucked away neatly in the box (with a picture on the front), these boxes containing the books are an extra part of the box on the side, with a large enough "window" so you can see the book. So the box is like twice as wide. But the books that are being packaged aren't always on the bookshelf with the other Nancy Drew books, so it's not that bad to package them with the games for those who are interested.
