December 2014 stuffs, Christmas time is here again!
Megatron:
Thanks! These are actually my first players guide (except for Goldeneye, which I distinctly remember owning back in 97). I have a ton of guides but they are mostly Brady, Prima and Versus Books Guides. I think when a game came out I only had the money for one book, so I generally bought the one that read the LEAST like stereo instructions. This was almost always Versus, or Brady - Prima if necessary. I'm really looking forward to sit down and read through some of these.

Over 100 issues of Nintendo Power - issue numbers vary, but most are in great condition. about 50 of these fill in holes of issues I didn't have, and another 20 or 30 are better copies than my current issues.
Of the issues included are a great condition copy of issue 250 (with Mega Man 10) and a seald copy of the final issue of NP from Dec 2012.
In addition were several PLAYER'S GUIDES. Some great stuff in here: Yoshi's Story, Diddy Racing, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Star Fox 64, Mario 64
Super Mario All Stars, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct
NES Game Atlas, SNES Players Guide, Gameboy Players Guide, NES To Secret Passwords
And the REASON I jumped on this.....Link's Awakening, Link to the Past, Super Mario RPG and Conker's Bad Fur Day - all originals and in great condition. Good binding, minor signs of wear.

No way ! The guides really look in perfect condition.
This makes me even more pissed at dumping my NP collection in the dumpsters 10 years ago :(

Several of those early Nintendo Player's Guides are absolutely incredible -- in particular, A Link to the Past and Mario Mania. There is so much extra stuff in there that is fascinating. Definitely pick up Mario Mania when you see it. I often see that one on eBay for rather decent prices and in great condition.
