Let's see . . .

Good:
Recuitment points: lets you know who you can get and the groundwork for recruitment
Treasure lists for each area
Decent walkthrough
Character guide list affinties and how to recuit

Bad:
No $@#& maps
No enemy list for areas in walkthrough or beastiary

Decent guide overall.

Can someone with the guide tell me what it says for recruiting Norma and Ernst, times I have to talk to them etc?

You have to take Levi to them.

Is that all it says? Because there is no "them" at the moment, they've never shown up in Raftfleet.

They should be at Reftleet's Inn. They're in the room on the left.

That's the thing, they're not there and they never were.

Is it just Stormfist where you need to talk to them?

Did you see their show? Because that's the only other time I've talked to them before they were at the Inn.

Yeah I saw it, and spoke to them when I was leaving...

Did you talk to Levi in the Big Hole? Maybe that has something to do with it. Other then that I don't know why they're not showing up at Raftleet for you.

Yeah I've recruited him. Maybe I'll try and see if they're there without Levi in my party, and if they are then return with him...it's a bit of a long shot but otherwise I'm gonna be 3 stars down.

Long shot or not it paid off. You need to go to their room in the Raftfleet inn without Levi in your party first.

It shows the enemies on pages 230-248

I can't believe there are no area maps in the guide. That is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard of for a guide. I know the maps ain't all too complex, but JESUS...

Considering your comments about the guide for IV, we'd both be more surprised by a comprehensive guide, rather than an imcomplete one (which is what everyone expects from BradyGames).
