The Left 4 Dead game guide is a very good book. It tells you where to go on all of the campaign missions, as well as telling you about all the characters of the game and the weapons.

First things first, if you’re looking for a guide that gives you more insight into the back story or characters of Left 4 Dead, this isn’t for you.
There is very little in the way of story information in this guide. The character bio’s are copied almost word for word out of the booklet that comes with the game and in many cases actually contradict the information directly from the developers. The descriptions of the Infected are stylized and somewhat incorrect but they give you something to think about considering Valve doesn’t give you anything on them at all.
Now most people couldn’t care less about the story. The game is about blowing up zombies, right? Well for that kind of person this guide is not much better. The maps are crude drawings on little pictures of notebook paper with poorly drawn symbols and lines with no detail at all. There are several spots in the guide where giant pictures of Infected bosses or normal infected actually cover up information, leaving you to guess what is hidden behind the picture.
However, its not all bad. The Guide does have one strong point in that it contains a ton of tips for people playing as the Infected in Versus mode. Every chapter will have tips on where best to ambush the survivors and how to do it (or in the case of the two campaigns that aren’t available for versus, tips on where the AI Director might spawn special infected and how to avoid them.) The only downside is that the remaining two campaigns will be added to versus in the near future and this guide will offer no information for those maps.
I can honestly say that for an experienced PC or X-Box 360 gamer who has played games like Halo or Team Fortress 2, you’d be better off saving your money. However for a beginner, this guide might actually be of some use for the price.

The Left 4 Dead: Prima Official Game Guide was quite helpful to me. The maps are a little crude, but I can understand with how they wanted it to be realistic. The walkthroughs, descriptions, and achievements list really are a big asset to completing the game if you are a new gamer, but not neccessary. I did find some errors in the guide as well. On pages 168-173 the pictures shown do not match the walkthrough and are in fact from the campaign Death Toll not from Dead Air the designated campaign for those pages. You should buy this guide only if you are to use it for future references and for collection.
