The Essential Reader's Companion ist ein im März 2012 erschienenes Sachbuch der Essential Guides-Reihe von Del Rey, das von Pablo Hidalgo verfasst wurde und einen mit vielen neuen Bildern illustrierten, chronologischen Überblick über die Literatur zum Star-Wars-Universum gibt. Sue Rostoni gab in ihrem Blog bekannt, dass das Buch sich zwar nach der VSY/NSY-Zeitschiene richten, jedoch anders als The New Essential Chronology aus der Perspektive der realen Welt geschrieben sein wird.
