This "episode guide" covers the first two seasons of Buffy, although the author seems to think they all belong to the first season. This is only one example of the problems i have with this book.
Each section introduces an episode and gives a brief summary of the episode, then goes on to discuss a topic tangentially related to the episode. For instance, in the part about "The Witch" the author chose to discuss the rise of the Spanish Inquisition, and "The Dark Age" goes on and on about premonitions in historical fiction. There are also trivia questions, which are mostly good, sidebars about goofs and continuity errors in the show, which, whatever, and this thing called "Everything I need to know, I learned from Buffy" which is really obnoxious. Examples: Never let an ax-wielding vampire guard your back, leaving a party with a bra you didn't bring with you just isn't a good thing, never turn your back on a man who sells cursed Halloween costumes... See what I mean? They aren't even funny.
Ugh. This whole thing is so irritating. It's barely about Buffy, the author is trying too hard to be funny, and it's not even 100% correct. Unless you're a completist Buffy fan, give this one a pass. ( )

this is not the best and if you have some of the other guides (Watcher's guide, etc) this is not a necessary edition. ( )

This takes looks at the episodes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer Seasons 1 and 2.

Each episode gets a one paragraph summary, some photographs, a quiz, and some text vaguely related to the subject of the episode, a list of cast members featured, and other bits and bobs.

Various internet sites have done a much, much better job. ( )
