Summary: Your Guide to the Hot Spots On the Hellmouth
Review: For the uninitiated, you can't do better than picking up this book if you want to start orienting yourself in the Buffyverse from the beginning. The first two seasons established the characters and basic situations, and then turned many of them on their ear, making a Guide nigh well indispensable if you find yourself jumping into the middle of it all without a little background, first.This is a very entertaining book, even if you've never seen the show - and if you haven't, it's sure to interest you in watching. Its layout is quite catchy, spotlighting episode elements in an engaging manner. Alongside story synopses are highlights of each episode's best lines, production notes, and comments on things that were added or cut, and why. A random thumb-through will provide enough witty banter to tickle your funny-bone, no matter your mood. (The characters were at their freshest and funniest in the first two years, which is what this Guide covers.) Newbies are sure to be entertained and intrigued, fans can relive their favorite moments. What's not to love?

Summary: great guide and reference
Review: I taped the first two seasons and only on the second one did
I have any sort of pattern; comparing what I taped, I was able to label all stories; on the second season I only had one episode out of order; that was the episode that Buffy was able to read minds; which was repeated several weeks later. It was agood guide and I especially like watching and comparing the missing lines, which add to them now. Great Book;

Summary: A Great Refrence Book and Hours of Fun!
Review: You will not find a bigger Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan than me! The Watcher's Guide is great! It gives you quotes from your favorite characters, a way around Sunnydale, descriptions on the characters, an episode guide, sixteen pages of cool color pictures, the romances of Sunnydale, interviews with the actors, and so much more. You'd have to be crazy not to like this book. So hurry and buy The Watcher's Guide Volume One and experience the cool world of Buffy.

Summary: A True Tome for Slayer Fans
Review: "The Watcher's Guide," a companion to the first two seasons of Joss Whedon's critically acclaimed "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," is truly a must-have for all fans of the show. Chock full of mythology, the guide also gives episode summaries and additional info on the progressive storyline of each season. Also present are numerous and detailed character sketches, as well as enjoyable interviews with the show's stars (such as Alyson Hannigan and Anthony Stewart Head, but surprisingly not Buffy herself - the excellent Sarah Michelle Gellar) as well as memorable guest stars like Juliet Landau and James Marsters, who portrayed the wicked vampire duo, Spike and Drusilla, in Season Two. Also handy is a Monster Guide, which catalogues all of Sunnydale's villains, from Bezoars to the evil robot Ted. As the book's catchphrase says: Fans "Should not be caught dead without 'The Watcher's Guide'."

Summary: THE BUFFY UNIVERSE IN A GREAT BOOK!
Review: This is the best Buffy book ever! Personally, I haven't seen the entire first and second seasons, so this book was great for me. After I read it I felt like I had really seen all the episodes. The book is divided into different sections:
The mythology of Buffy:Basically it gets you started on what being the Slayer really means using extracts of dialogues from the original episodes.
Sunnydale Guidebook: It includes a review of all the places to go in Sunnydale presented like a real advise.
Character Guide: The acting start of all the actors, and the development of their characters. The lines from each one are hilarious!
Episode Guide: A short review of each episode + a great quote + Love, Slayer style:How the relationships are in that episode + Buffy's bag of tricks: her weapons every time + Pop-culture IQ: references made to the pop culture + the continuity with the other episodes + excerpts from the original script.
Monster guide: A guide with the most important monsters, vampires and witches that have appeared in the show.
Bloodlust: Every relationship that has ever taken place, with great tidbits of dialogue between the lovers.
Behind the scenes: Lots of goodies from behind the scenes of Buffy, as well as interviews with the whole cast, producer, make-up artist, etc., etc., etc. Basically every person involved in the making of the show.
Music: A complete list with the most important songs played in each episode.
This book is one of the most complete I have ever read, and I have nothing but compliments for it. Golden and Holder did a wonderful job together like always, and I recommend this book to every Buffy-watcher, wheter it's die-hard or not. The book is great, and it includes everything you could possibly want to know, so I say, go for it!

Summary: Essential Peace of Reference For Novices and Experts Alike
Review: It seems like along time ago that I first watched 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. In fact it was only four short years ago. Now I'm going to confess something here, I was only thirteen when I watched 'Welcome To The Hellmouth' and to be honest I didn't think it was terribly good. A year and a bit later however, my outlook on the show was changed when I happened to catch the Second Season Finale (Becoming). I had absolutely no idea what was going on and I only had a basic idea of the plot (ie Buffy good, Angel bad). But there was something about it. Some kind of charming cleverness that had me completely hooked for that point on. The next day I resolved myself to read up on this soon to be obsession of mine. At this time nobody had really noticed this future pop-culture phenomenon and the resources at my local bookshop were severely lacking, so I picked up the only choice I had, 'The Watchers Guide Vol. 1'. I'm glad I did. This book contains more than anybody wanting a smooth introduction to the world of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' could possibly ask for; each section is filled to bursting with fascinating insights on cast, crew, monsters, mythology, romance and the most comprehensive episode guide your likely to find anywhere, ever. It's far more common for fans of a TV show to opt for a unofficial guide to there favourite shows but in this case I wouldn't recommend it. This is pretty much the only way to go if you want good quality, thorough information on probably the best sci-fi/fantasy show of the last decade. Luckily for me the first couple of seasons were repeated soon after I purchased this book but I have to say that this book and it's sequel are absolutely essential items for people either just getting acquainted with the show or regular watchers who need a refresher course on the 'early days'. Highly recommended.

Summary: Don't Miss This
Review: Obviously, this book is a little out of date now. But I still think it is the best Buffy book of all. With classic quotables, episode-by-episode guides containing useful little titbits such as 'Popculture IQ' and 'from the original teleplay' interviews not only with the actors but with people such as Jeff Pruit, Sophia Crawford and of course, Joss Whedon, details of all the monsters from the first and second seasons and romantic incidents, however brief, who could expect anything less from Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder? It contains all the info you could possibly need about the first two Buffy seasons as well as colour pictures of cast and crew, both on and off screen. I'll keep this brief, so in conclusion, this is definately the best Buffy book you will find. Buy it.
