'''''RuneScape: The Official Handbook''''' is a book written by [[Tracey West]]. This, along with the three novels ([[Betrayal at Falador]], [[Return to Canifis]], and [[Legacy of Blood]]) written by [[T. S. Church]], are currently the only printed ''[[RuneScape]]'' sources endorsed by [[Jagex]]. The book covers most of the [[free-to-play]] parts of ''RuneScape'', and also gives tips for newer players.

Since the book was printed in [[2006]], it does not cover the updates that have happened since then. It shows many monsters with un-updated graphics, places being in now incorrect locations (For example, the [[Party Room]] is present in [[Seer's Village]], and the [[Grand Exchange]] is non-existent), and other older information. Oddly, the majority of the book contains information solely for free players, even though some of the pictures have Dragon items.

== Trivia and errors ==

*On the cover, there is a [[Dragon Spear]] leaning against the skeleton's chair. A Dragon spear is a member's item while this book is free-to-play.
*On the cover, a yellow [[Halloween mask]] can be seen to the right of the skeleton's skull. Halloween masks only came in red, blue, and green.
*On the cover, the globe seen on the desk depicts Europe with bits of Asia and northern Africa, rather than [[Gielinor]].
*Also on the front page, there is a pumpkin holiday item on the shelf, along with what appears to be [[Karamjan rum]], along with a unreleased potion set.
*On page 17, the book says that level 5 Woodcutting is needed to cut Oak trees. 15 Woodcutting is actually needed.
*On page 19, the book says there is no cost when sea bait fishing. One bait per fish is actually required.
*On page 29, next to where it says "Hatchet", a [[Bronze halberd]] is incorrectly shown.
*On page 33, the book says that level 13 Runecrafting is needed to craft fire runes. 14 Runecrafting is actually needed.
*On page 52, the book says to have a pair of [[shears]] for the Vampire Slayer quest, which was repeated from the Sheep Shearer quest. Shears are not needed in the quest.
*On page 54, where it shows a profile of a [[Bandit]], it says "level 21", but actually it is level 22.
*On page 60, at the part where it describes a [[Giant spider]], it said "you'll find them hanging out in the [[Lumbridge Castle]] basement, and in sewers and houses." There are none down in the basement.
*On page 67, the scorpion's level is 12, but in-game it is 14.
