A Guide's Guide is a Jim/Blair story by Brook Henson.

It is online. At some point, it appears to have been planned as a print zine. From Henson's website: "NOTE: Some progress has been made on the A Guide’s Guide zine. Along with a publisher, I now have an artist, Lorraine Brevig (who, let me just say has amazing talent. She absolutely blows my socks off!)."
