Still tending to your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Then it might be worth picking up the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Complete Guide. The hardcover guide is still available at Amazon–and it’s even seeing a slight discount right now. Best of all, this is the updated version published in 2023, meaning it includes details for all the major updates and the Happy Home Paradise expansion.

Published by Future Press, this comprehensive 668-page guide covers everything you need to know about the game, including information on all the islanders, all the craftable items, and every collectible from seasonal events, updates, and DLC. There’s also a section covering unique island designs–so if you need inspiration for your next big project, you’ll find plenty of examples in this official guidebook.
The original version of this guide was published in 2020. While the 2020 edition is still available, we recommend the updated 2023 edition, as it includes information on all the additional content released between 2020 and 2023–such as Happy Home Paradise–and is a much better fit for anyone playing New Horizons in 2025.
Future Press is also responsible for the new Metaphor: ReFantazio strategy guide and the popular Elden Ring strategy guides, along with dozens of other titles. If you’re interested in rounding out your bookcase with premium video game books, be sure to check out the full collection.
Folks who haven’t yet purchased Animal Crossing: New Horizons will find it on sale for just $40 (was $60) at Woot–an Amazon company. If that deal sells out, it’s also discounted to $52 at Amazon.
Seeking more Nintendo books? A few Zelda guides are still available, and there’s a cool Metroid Prime Retrospective that takes a closer look at the first three games in the series. Here are a few of our favorites to consider, most of which are currently on sale.
