I don't know why people are freaking out about Prima making errors. Every strategy guide since forever has errors, usually multiples. In the OFFICIAL NINTENDO guide for the original Animal Crossing, and I will again reiterate that IT WAS WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED BY NINTENDO, they say Kapp'n is a parrot.
Gamers these days are seriously too self entitled. The only error worth getting upset about in the least bit, is if you got a copy with reprinted pages.

I will repeat from my last post that nearly every guide, regardless of publisher or release date has errors, especially games as big as Animal Crossing.
Look at Skyrim: the guide is as thick as an encyclopedia. You don't think that somewhere in those thousands of pages there is an error? I don't remember anything raising their pitchforks.
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm defending Prima or something, I'm really not - it's just that these things have been going on since before most of you were even born.

Calm down dude. This thread is about correcting the errors in our books, not starting a flame war.

Calm down? Flame war? Pretty presumptuous of you to say such things. This is a forum, is it not? Since you seem unaware, forums are intended to post and discuss opinions, so I posted mine, and then I added to my argument. If that's what you call "flaming" or "angry posting", then I'd hate to see you when a real flamer posts.

Well for 1 thing, prima has always had some issue with things not being right here and there and some misprints...things happen misprints are actually whoever is printing the books fault...but the good thing about the guides is at least if you get a physical copy it comes with a digital so you can keep it updated...i mean small little things are nothing to really nit pick about, now I understand its $20 and you want everything to be right..which is why I have been advocating for amazon..I feel a bit better since i paid half its price and my shipping was free...the good thing is we found them yay now it can be corrected
There is a thread about the AC guide in the Prima forums:
www.primagames.com/discussion/topic/467/
There we can report mistakes and hopefully have it corrected in the eguide.
Just remember to tell them in a polite way

I actually purchased a second prima guide for us because my son plays and I play. Since I had GameStop in store credits, I thought it worth my while. Each one comes with access to the digital version, that I am sure will be kept updated. I am thankful for the errors being pointed out, and will make note of them when I get my physical copy, since I gave the one I preordered to my son.

I'm looking to correct the information in my physical copy, so that wouldn't be of much help.
Since someone pointed out that one June birthday was wrong, and another person said the birthdays seem to be shifted over by one day, I would say it's worth double-checking that whole month!
Okay, I found a few with errors in their names and I'm confused as to where they go.
First of all, you know Dobie is where Freya's name should be and Freya is on Fang's.
Also, Dozer appears in the book but online it says that he has not returned and that Tutu should be on the list but she is not.
Next, I noticed a few name mistakes.
When comparing to the list online against the Prima guide:
ONLINE: EUGENE (the male koala "Rocky") PRIMA: Sonny
ONLINE: WALT (the male kangaroo) PRIMA: Skip
ONLINE: Naomi (the female cow) PRIMA: Yoko
ONLINE: Barold (the male bear) PRIMA: Barry
Anyone have these villagers in your town and can give insight into what is the correct names?

I have errors in mine...a lot of my fossil pictures are repeated pictures from another type of dino. Seems to be the same photo also for each error.
I also have the "Anim al" on the spine of the book.
Haven't noticed any others...

It's insane that they're being defended.
They had months to work with endless resources as far as information.
They could easily have avoided some of these mistakes by using any existing Japanese guide or by, heaven forbid, searching online.
I understand that people make mistakes, but THAT'S what a publishing company should be doing. PROOF-READING. These errors seem like such obvious mistakes for the most part, as well as laziness. Where did they pull Dobie's name from? He hasn't been in the game since GC so they basically went "oh this is a grey wolf and that is a grey wolf so that must be his name".
I'd be surprised if they even used the game itself to make this guide.
