The "Prima's Official Strategy Guide" that you can purchase for IWDII is bare-bones useful. If you need to get past a tough area or are having trouble with a puzzle, it is useful (much like the IWDI Guide). If you want insight into the game or a good list of the items (it has a list, but not a terribly useful list), then no, it's not good.
It wastes pages on trying to be a strategy guide (which it sucks at) & a bestiary (which it utterly sucks at) & a spell guide (which it also utterly sucks at), but once it gets into the game, it's comprehensive but not compelling, if that helps at all.
