Summary: Almost a good idea
Review: I was looking forwards to this book as Andromeda has a lot of background that's only touched on various aliens, equiptment, races and events that turn up fleetingly in episodes that could be fully explored in this book they're not. As you'd expect most of the book is an episode guide but the episode reviews are profusely illustrated which is nice (visually the book is very attractive) the actual reviews are not up to the quality of the official andromedatv website however in terms of background information and insight. So what about the supplimental information character reviews finally someone found some good pictures of the cast (though that's no excuse for using the same full page shot of Beka twice within 10 pages). A lot of the illustrations are taken from the bonus material at the back of the DVDs especially for the set and equiptment designs. Rounding out the book are a set of cast and crew interviews which are again short but well illustrated. In the end you are left with a package that is nice to look at but shows an inadequate attention to detail including repeated photos, missing and mislabled photos and a few that seem to be of nothing very much. The text content is servicable but little more than that definate room for improvement. Eye Candy
