Hello,

The girlfriend of a friend of mine wants to buy him something as a gift and would like it to be related to EvE (I guess she's trying to get on his level with gaming, in her own way, lol).

She asked me for advice and I suggested a paper (magazine/book) guide for the game. Something that includes mining, manufacturing, PvP, etc guides. However, I have no idea where to find something like this or which are ones worth purchasing. If anyone could lend me a hand with some titles I'd be very grateful.

Thanks!

I doubt anyone will ever publish a hardcopy player's guide to EvE, since it would have to be longer than The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire, and it would almost certainly be out of date by the time you finished reading it, never mind by the time it was published.

The suggestion of an EON subscription is a good one though.

EON is nice as is the Strategic maps that the same company puts out.

I would suggest this:
The Art of EVE

It's not a guide but it makes a very good gift.
