The Fallout 3 one is huge but the Fable 2 one, although floppyish, comes with a stunning art book. Mirror's Edge on the other hand is diddy but the info is not that great - gorgeous though. I love how much effort the companies are now going to with this sort of merchandise and long may it continue. I love my collector’s ed guides and even blogged on it a while back.

My Final Fantasy X guide is lovely, it's only a soft cover but the quality is just brilliant. Piggyback are just awesome for guides, worth buying just for the "phwoar" look they hold.

Look at the piggyback FFXII guide versus the bradygames FFVII guide, for example. It's nice to have a fancy book you can consult, but to be honest I don't think they'll ever be fully comprehensive. 99% of the time any specific issue you have can be solved on GameFAQs, not through the guides necessarily but by doing a quick search on the message board.
