It's In There!

No matter what you want to know about the most minute detail of the BABYLON 5 series, it's in there.this is a guide where the characters and references, however brief in appearance, rate an entry. The best for beginners and afficianados alike. A must for "fivers".

A perfect, required index book, but not a new edition.

Not much to say really. This book really covers everything a Babylon 5 index should hold: facts, names, dates, people, tribes & races, spacecraft, the works. What can only be suggested to the author and the publishing company is that a re-print is not a new edition, so people who have bought the previous edition do not need to buy the same book twice. Also a required reading for all Babylon 5 fans, together with the Andy Lane guide.

good contents, komplex index and lot of interesting informat

The book includes a list of all the main characters, and it describes them very similar to the real series on television. Although the book is written in partil particip, it's a good forum for all Babylon5 lovers

A cool quick reference guide

Despite containing little (nothing?) that is new to regular visitors to the Lurker's Guide and other on-line B5 resources, this little tome brings it all together in a easy to reference book that can be carried with you if needed. The only flaw, as has been mentioned in other eviews, is its history - covering only the first two seasons. It does this well however and enables us to find out what even a delicately adjusted PAUSE on the VCR fails to reveal in the way of newspaper articles/headlines etc. If/When a revision is brought out it will make one of the most useful reference works available. btw - for the previous review, vocabulary aside the term used in the episode WAS anti-agapic! Maybe jms erred somehwere!!

Outstanding for new veiwers and long time fans

Despite the warnings of how dated the book's material is, given the widew scope of history on the show, this novel is invaluable to even the most casual fan of sci-fi tv. It's well written seems stunningly thorough and even goes into the more references that many might overlook. All in all it's the best reference guide without being online.
