One of my favorite television shows...arguably my favorite of all time. The Watcher's Guide, in my case, is essential!

Ah yes, the before time. The Long Long Ago. Before wikipedia. I think I read this book cover to cover about three times back when Buffy was still on and the idea of owning a whole season on DVD was but a pipe dream (says the guy who bought poor quality tapes of seasons one and two from someone on eBay.) (Oh but the commercials from the San Francisco TV station were fun.)
This book provides good episode summaries, episode trivia, and tidbits on the makeup and costumes and stuff. Which you can just read on wikipedia now, with hyperlinks. But you can't take wikipedia in the tub, now can you? Well, yeah you can. But I'll still keep the book.

I am a huge Buffy fan, since it first aired. I love reading the background books and collecting the series. This is a nice companion guide to the episodes, with info on the music, cast and creatures.

Volume One of The Watcher's Guide covers the two series of the fantasy television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's a great accompaniment that gives you more information about the characters and monsters that feature in the episode, as well as background and in-depth synopsis' of each episode.
It's set out in a decent logical order which makes it very easy to dip in and out of. Whilst the photographs are in black and white in general, there is an insert with some promos and behind-the-scenes photographs which adds to the occasion. It also lists the music that featured in the show, which is a fantastic feature because Buffy always had wonderful and often obscure music in it.
For any Buffy who wants to know more it's a good place to start and is a good addition to any collection, but since the advent of The Internet it's slightly redundant now.

Covers Seasons 1 and 2 of Buffy. Great for us fans who want to know about the writers, stuntwomen, makeup artist and directors as well as the actors. If you are someone who watches the special features on DVD, this is for you.
