I'm not one to usually buy books with a game, but I got this one as a gift, and am so glad I did. The book is catagorized by each world. The top of each page has a tab of which section it is referring to. Organization is great, the pictures are wonderful as well.
Monsters HP and items they drop during the game is shown in the back of this book.
Also, any weapons you wish to synthisize, it gives the complete recipe to what you need!
Everything about this book is great. The game is easy enough without the book, but if you want to collect everything, get all the best weapons, and defeat the toughest bosses in the game, this is your best bet.
The boss strategies are very helpfull. Sometimes, the bosses were easy enough, and the guide wasn't needed, but when encountering opponents in let's say, the tournaments, this is a great help.
Stickers are included to help you keep track of finding all 99 dalmations.
Step by step, Kingdom Hearts can be completed without an item missed with this book!

Excellent!

Another excellent strategy guides:

Final Fantasy X-2 - Official Strategy Guide

This is just about the best strategy guide I've ever seen. It has:

1. Clear, well-organized lists of all the items, weapons and spells in the game, accompanied by short descriptions that provide useful information.
2. Excellent character profiles that enable you to customize your party to the fullest.
3. A pitch-perfect beastiary with, from what I've seen, accurate statistics for every beast in the game, including bosses.
4. A clearly written walkthrough. While some of the hints and descriptions are a little lacking in detail, this is a very large game, and providing step-by-step illustrations could have proved even more confusing or just ruined the fun of playing the game through.
5. Ideal boss fight strategies, providing more information about the boss than about how you should deal with it, allowing the player to adjust their style of play to each new bad guy while not wasting time.
6. The simply cool addition of a map and stickers to keep track of your progress with puppies and Trinity Marks. At first I though this was cheesy, but it's a great way to track your progress.

The last bit is the most important though: this is a guide through the game, not a step-by-step, this is how you beat the game, kids, completely outlined with no room for interpretation rulebook, giving you the freedom to enjoy the game at your own pace and in your own style.

This game is too short to require a walkthrough, and besides, if you get stuck you can simply get online help instead of wasting money on this.
