Can someone please explain to me why the British Library has VIDEO GAME GUIDE BOOKS in their catalogue?

[edit] Imperial College Library, here I come~

Doesn't the British Library have everything? :3

But they only loan books to you if you're an organisation. Or if you are doing research and can prove it... who researches on video game guide books?

There's a requirement to send a copy pretty well everything that's published to the copyright libraries in the UK, which include the British Library.

Ooooooh! That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

Is one of those things I know from work.

But the real question is, why were you looking at video game guide books in the British Library catalogue in the first place?

Well, I was searching for books on a topic I might write into a fic, and that topic apparently was also made into video games....
