Summary: The Measure of all things
Review: After a much anticipated wait, I was glad to have this book appear in my mailbox shortly after it delayed in publishing. Happy as a clam I thumbed through the pages, seeing each episode written in a "short story" style with dialougue taken from the scripts. I am also glad to see that they kept the title "all things" in lower case, as Gillian Anderson had when naming the episode she had written and directed. I have all season guides and I must say this is one of the best ones put out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holding my breathe....
Review: Call it a preview but the writer appears to have mostly written unauthorized bio's of hollywood stars. The fact that the book is now 2 months late isn't promising....

Summary: The Official Guide Just Keeps Getting Better With Age
Review: I had some apprehensions about this book before it even came out. First, the release date for this volume was pushed back, which is not typically a very good sign. And second, this volume was being drafted by Marc Shapiro and not Andy Meisler (who did such a wonderful job with the previous two volumes). But after having read through it, I can happily allay any apprehensions about this book not living up to its predecessors. Volume 6 in this series is just as good, if not better, than those volumes that came out before it.

Marc Shapiro does a great job in delivering the goods behind every episode. I was very impressed with this from Andy Meisler, and Marc Shapiro doesn't disappoint. There is interesting background information on all the episodes - things like the time-crunch in making "Requiem" and the fact that Gillian Anderson had to wear a wig in a car scene in "The Goldberg Variation" because it was shot after her hair stylist had sheared off her lovely locks.

Included in this book are eight full-color pages of images from the seventh season. Those images selected are fine enough, but they only focus on about four or five episodes, which doesn't do such a great season justice. It would have been nice to see more of a mix - some mythology episodes ("The Sixth Extinction" and "Sein Und Zeit") and stand-alone episodes ("En Ami" and "All Things"). But this is a minor detraction from an overall sharp-looking book.

Any fans of the series should have this volume sitting on their bookshelves. This is a must-have, and it is an enjoyable read. Well worth the wait in the time it took to get it published.

Summary: Great X-File Guide, It's Finally here!
Review: The Official Guides To The X-Files just continue to get better and better! The quality of the photographs really bring the episode overviews to life! Season Seven is one of my all-time favorite X-File periods and this volume, after enduring changing release dates, really allows you to explore a little deeper. It was by pure luck that I finally got my hands on one and with much enthusiam that I highly recommend this volume and the other five as well! An amazing companion to an amazing show!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: all things(the official guide to the x-files,vol.6)
Review: this book explores the episodes in depht, explaining things and showing you things you might have missed. It has lots of photos colour but mainly black and white. At the beggining ov every episode guide there is a list of all the characters and actors, also who wrote produced and directed the episode. At the end there are lots of interviews with the cast and crew. This is a must for all x-files lovers, one not to be missed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All You Need To Know About Season 7

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Book!!
Review: This Book would have to be my all time favorite that only adds to my collection of vol.3-6 now. If you want more x-files, and want to learn more about Season 7, I suggest buying this book. Of course, like the other volumes it has in-depth details of each episode as well as black & white pictures to accommodate them. There are eight pages of color pictures: X-Cops, Je Souhaite, Fight Club, FPS, and, Hollywood A.D.. Very Cool! I enjoy this book very much, despite the delay in publishing, but beleive me, it was worth the wait. There's also the back story of why the ending of Requiem was kept a secret, why Chris waited until the last day of shooting Requiem to write the finale, and why only 2 people knew of it's true ending. . . . All in All, an Excellent Book to add to your X-Files Paraphernalia!
