I think this is worth the price just for the included 2017 interview with Peter Jurasik, but this book is fantastic as a portable B5 reference guide. In the Ancient Days I used to read the online Lurker's Guide (which is still there in 2018!) and these days I can browse the small mountain of script books or the B5 Encyclopedia, but all those books have moved into Collectables Territory so I can't be grabbing at them without fear of bending a cover $ or getting a page dirty $. Can't take the toys out the packaging to play with anymore, but this book is the one toy I don't have to worry about getting dog-eared.



It would be nice if more space could have been given to summarize each episode, but at nearly 500 pages, an extra half-page per episode would have turned this into a two volume series. Each episode gets a decent quick summary, and also covers the "aired" (and some un-aired) episodes/movies. Aside from the televised source material, this book also discusses the (canon) novels, making it a one stop Dive Into things B5. For extra added reading, there are 6 1/2 pages of "sources", so if you want to read up on the background behind the background, the information is there.



One interesting item of note is on the LAST page of the book.. It mentions that if one contacts the publisher (?ECW Press?) with your purchasing info then allegedly one can also get the ebook "FREE". No clue about "receipt number" as I happened to get this via Amazon, but it might be worth looking into. At present I am hauling this book along to read whilst riding the subway, but would be nice to have an online version to flip over to while watching DVDs on my PC. Or I could leave my DVDs on the shelf and possibly stream the series, as it became able for streaming on Amazon in mid-2018!! :)

---> UPDATE: I followed the instructions and about a week-ish later did receive back an ebook attachment. Haven't had a chance to view it yet, but guessing everything tracks... ....the instructions are on the last page of the book.
