Hi guys!
It has recently come to my attention that back in the day Access Software offered a hint book for Mean Streets (see image below). However, I've been unable to trace it anywhere. Has any of you actually seen it / own a copy?
I'm just being curious...
Thanks

I actually do have a copy of the hint book! I was pretty excited when I got it because, as you've probably noticed, it seems to be extraordinarily rare. I've never actually seen any other copies of it available for sale, nor any scans or pictures of it online.

It's actually remarkably similar to the hint books Sierra was putting out at the time: same small size, white paper with just text (no artwork), and uses a plastic filter to hide the clues from being read.

I can take some pictures if you're interested.

Wow! It only took me two years to realize someone had replied to my post!!!
Thanks for the info and apologies for the "somehow belated" reply.
I was starting to think that I was imagining the whole hint book thing. Many thanks for confirming its existance.
I'm not sure whether you'd see this reply (maybe in two years time!) but if you do and the offer still stands I'd love to see a couple pics of the hint book.
Many thanks!!!
