An updated new edition of the official, all-encompassing companion book to the popular hit television series includes exclusive cast and production interviews, cast profiles, annotated episode listings, never-before-seen photographs, a day-on-the-set journal, and much more. Original. (Performing Arts)

Here it is, the book that will tell you everything you want to know about seasons three and four of the popular television series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. For the unfamiliar, the series, an extravaganza of supercomix proportions, owes its popularity to its quirky vision of teen problems (parent-child relationships, sexuality, drugs, outsiders, etc.) and its young "kick-butt" heroine, who copes with the familiar anxieties of growing up as she works to eradicate evil in her small town. Photos, cast profiles, interviews with stars and members of the production staff, dozens of quotes, and plot summaries--it's all here for die-hard fans. Each episode gets full consideration, not only plot description but also detailed analysis of the show's pop-cultural references, which add comedy and help leaven the violence. There's also a whole section focusing on how an episode is put together. The text is enthusiastic if not always polished, but fans won't be deterred by a little clunky prose. Stephanie Zvirin
