Well, it's bigger (thicker) than the first volume, but, by some freaky occurance it seems to have less interesting stuff in it. It still has the episode guide in it with all its goodies from seasons three and four. It has character profiles, with both original ones and the new characters from season four.

I will say that it does have a lot about those (the music guy, the stunt people, etc. etc.) in the background. In some ways a bit too much info in my opinion.

For me at least while that info is slightly interesting, what I really want from these pseudo reference books about (really any TV show) Buffy is the nitty gritty stuff about Buffy and Willow, not so much things about Sarah Michelle Gellar or Alyson Hannigan.

But, it's not a bad read and since the third season was the start of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Golden Ages as I like to think of them (seasons 3-5) it has lots of cool stuff that makes a viewer watch some of the episodes from the third and fourth seasons differently. ( )

More Buffy - this is always a good thing! More quotes, quips and quirky info from the parallel universe in which Hell leaks out into the world through southern California - no, wait, that's true in both worlds.... oh, the parallel universe in which vampires can have souls AND great wardrobes, demons are sometimes oddly loveable and dead isn't always. A great way to revisit a fabulous creation by the master, Joss Whedon. ( )

WONDERFUL Buffy guide with tons of informative about individual episodes, trivia, behind-the-scenes, and more. ( )
