If you've just started watching Days or have even been watching for years, this book has recaps of all the storylines. Broken down in yearly segments, it covers all the important events that occurred each year from the begining in 1966 to 1996. It even has all the marriages, bad girls, and a complete cast list of everyone who was ever on the show during those 30 years. Color photos bring back great memories or vivid imaginations of the show's history. It's a great way to catch up on what's happening now or to clear up confusion on past plots.

A Must for any DOOL fan

This book really informed me about all the plot lines from the past, in order to understand the present. Along with the synopsis of the plot, it also contained sections recounting all the families, couples and weddings that have touched Salem throughout the years. There were also interviews with Kritian Alfonso, Peter Reckell and Diedra Hall, just to name a few. This book will be a memorable keepsake for any die-hard DOOL fan.
