This book guide is divided into two major sections: Novels and Guides.
- Novels include the two series of officially authorized Wing Commander fiction - Baen Book's seven book run and HarperCollins' three book movie spinoff series.
- Official Guides are those authorized by Origin Systems, Inc. Origin published at least one strategy guide for every Wing Commander game, excluding Wing Commander Academy. Unofficial Guides are hint books published without corporate approval. They were especially popular around the release of Wing Commander III and IV... their quality ranges from excellent to being the most awful book ever published.
From Aachen to Zwuschen, Germany is full of weird and wonderful things... and no where is this better exemplified than in its large collection of Wing Commander books. From translated Wing Commander novels and guides with awesome new covers to original hint books with F-15s on them, Germany is the Wing Commander book collector's holy land. A subsection of this book guide is dedicated to unofficial German hint books.
Two unpublished Wing Commander strategy guides were assigned ISBN numbers - which has confused many online vendors into believing that they exist. The Veteran Pilot's Guide to Wing Commander III (Bernie Yee) and Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander Prophecy Gold (Chris McCubbin) do not exist.
