迷失百科全书是一本官方发布的书藉，由DK出版社于2010年10月18日出版。百科全书的作者是Tara Bennett和Paul Terry，而书中亦含有制作人Damon Lindelof和Carlton Cuse撰写的前言。百科全书的内容是认可的，并含有新资料以交代剧中不明确的地方。
Content[]
The book contains no new storyline information but clarifies previous gray areas. Bennett said many fans may be surprised by some of the clarifications enough to where they would deem them new information. The book is set up as an "in universe" book organized alphabetically and features no behind the scenes information. It does, however, feature many never-before-seen photographs, maps and other items and locations used during the filming process.[1][2]
Errors[]
According to author Tara Bennett, she and co-author Paul Terry ran all of the book's contents by Lost writer Gregg Nations. When questions remained, said Bennett, they consulted Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse themselves. Despite this, the book contains several errors.
In addition to some inconsistencies with what was seen on-screen, numerous copyediting errors appear throughout the body of the book. Beyond having many grammatical and spelling errors, there are several sections of the book where it appears that an early draft of a statement co-exists side by side with the final draft of the same statement.
