As far you know I'm from Argentina, a place were magazines and books about Famicom/NES games are something weird to see.
We have our own mags like Club Nintendo (Some sort of Nintendo Power) Top kids (misc games), Action Games (misc games) and some others from spain and stuff.
In the U.S besides the great Nintendo Power I've see other publications as Gamepro, Electronic Entertainment Monthly and others. My question is, I'm not able to get those magazines or Books like some strategy guides, I have some real Nintendo Power and I was able to get some Nintendo Power in PDF to print at my work (I work as a graphic designer, so we have a lot of laser prints) but I never see videogame Books from the 80's. Someone have some link to check some books? I always being curious about those Strategy guides and stuff. If someone knows something let me know. It woulb be nice have some good reading on this long weekend.

I think I saw sveral Spanish Nintendo official magazines at Retrones. They have scans of the #1 edition of the Nintendo official magazine, giving tips for SMB and announcing Rygar. I don't know if that helps, but is something. In any case, it would cool to see some strategy books or even Japanese magazines! Sure, we couldn't read it, but at leat we can watch the pictures  ;D

I have some old club nintendo magazines. Pages from magazine #4 of club nintendo showing strategy of tmnt and other games and I love the Dr. Mario section since they always had topics about pirates. It's very interesting material. I also have magazine #10 with starfox on the front. I think I can scan them if that helps. I also have somewhere an spanish egm.
