This book guide is divided into two 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.

Two unpublished Wing Commander strategy guides were assigned ISBN numbers - which has confused many online vendors into believing that they exist.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, 0761517723) do not exist.
