About this product
Diablo II Ultimate Strategy Guide is a 288-page illustrated paperback player's guide to Diablo II, the 2000 action role-playing game developed by Blizzard North and published by Blizzard Entertainment.[2] It was written by Bart G. Farkas and published in Indianapolis, Indiana, under the BradyGames imprint with a 2001 copyright.[3] The guide walks through all four acts and every quest, covers each of the five character classes skill by skill, and compiles the game's monsters, weapons, armour, shrines and items into reference tables.[4] The barcode is the book's ISBN-13, 978-0-7440-0105-1, a Bookland number rather than a GS1 company prefix; the ISBN-10 is 0744001056.[5] The title is long out of print and sells only second-hand.[6]
BradyGames was then the largest publisher of video game strategy guides in the United States; in May 2006 Penguin moved the label out of Pearson Education to become an imprint within Dorling Kindersley.[7] This barcode already had a page on the 2006-2013 Barcodepedia, captured on 1 November 2006, where a contributor gave the author correctly and credited the book to "Brady Publishing".[8]
Where it's sold
- Amazon.com [1] United States USD 2.20 · used Amazon.com lists this ISBN-13 in the page title and product data (fetch verdict: listing). The format chip reads "Paperback from $2.20", the lowest offer shown on 17 September 2026; the title is out of print, so the offers are second-hand.
- nobleknight.com information[9] United States used Noble Knight Games, Fitchburg, Wisconsin, lists "Diablo II - Ultimate Strategy Guide", publisher BradyGames, softcover, 2001, 288 pages, flagged Out of Print and Used Copy. The page prints no barcode; publisher, year, binding and page count match this edition.
A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price. Store links may be affiliate links (how this works).

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Book details: 5 / 6 · Profile fields recorded: authors, publisher, language, binding, pages, published. Missing fields may require research or an applicability note.
- Context: 1 / 2 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 1 / 6 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- relationships · unknown: No source read here names the legal publishing company, so Book.publisher and a published_by relation are left out. The catalogue record gives the imprint only ("Indianapolis, Ind. : BradyGames"), Game Developer says the BradyGames label sat inside Pearson Education until May 2006 without naming a legal entity, and both Internet Archive scans of this book are access-restricted, so the copyright page could not be read. Open Library's library record also lists "Pearson Professional Education" beside BradyGames, which is a merged catalogue field rather than a statement about this printing, and its commercial record OL7953457M names Penguin Books Ltd, the label's later owner.
- identity · disputed: Publication date. The OCLC record and both Internet Archive scans give (c)2001, and Noble Knight Games dates the book 2001. Open Library's other record for the same ISBN, OL7953457M, built from commercial metadata, gives 20 May 2002 and an edition name "Vivendi Ed edition". 2001 is recorded here; whether a 2002 reprint carries the same ISBN is unresolved.
- identity · unknown: Printing country. The catalogue gives the place of publication as Indianapolis, Indiana, but no source read here says where the book was printed, so country_of_origin is left empty.
- relationships · not_applicable: 978 is the Bookland ISBN range, not a GS1 company prefix, so there is no company prefix licensee to target with gs1_prefix_owner. The ISBN publisher prefix inside the number, 0-7440, is BradyGames'.
- markets · unknown: Only United States listings were found: Amazon.com and Noble Knight Games. A search of the bare ISBN-13 and ISBN-10 returned Amazon.com, AbeBooks, eBay, ThriftBooks and World of Books but no listing on a national Amazon storefront outside the US and no non-US retailer page, so no second market is recorded.
