Rating: Summary: Great! Review: i love the yearbook it has so many great pics in it(esp. of Oz!!) buy this book!
Rating: Summary: Best book so far Review: I loved the book, as an avid collector of Buffy books this book is definently a must. Its good that the book doesn't only concentrate on the scooby gang but the classmates as well giving the yearbook more of a yearbook feeling and not just another buffy book.The written comments are the greatest, by Willow,Angel,Oz,Cordelia,Giles and Xander.
Rating: Summary: great book! Review: I loved this book from when I got it. The color pages are cool, and i loved all the little inside jokes and comments (just like a real high school yearbook). I also loved how they took stuff from the show as well as the book series. The one thing that i thought was a little weird was that they had stuff about Angel and Faith when they didn't go to Sunnydale High.
Rating: Summary: Great novelty for Buffy fans Review: I loved this book! It is almost exactly like a real yearbook (even a hard cover), and it was very enjoyable to look through. This was a very creative idea from the "Buffy" people, and I hope they keep it up. They couldn't have found a better pair of writers who both have talent and a deep knowledge about the "Buffy" universe.
Rating: Summary: Probably One of the Best Books Ever By C.G. and N.H. Review: I really, really liked this book!! It was probably one of the best that Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder have written. I am a major fan of all their Buffy books, especially The Gatekeeper Trilogy and the fact that they had written this book attracted me to it immediately. The colour photos are wonderful, the layout is very interesting and the comments by Xander, Willow, Oz, Giles and Angel are very witty, although Angel definitely should have had a couple more. The presentation of it was also excellent. All in all, well worth the $ I spent on it.
Rating: Summary: alot of fun Review: I thought this yearbook was a fun way to spend an hour. There could have been alittle more substance to it but all in all it was fun to read. The comments written in it were typical of the characters on the show. I would recommend this to all buffy fans especially if you have a collection of buffy stuff. This yearbook is the perfect read for all fans of the show!
Rating: Summary: Fun, frivolous, and quite pointless Review: Ideal for the Buffy fanatic who will understand all the in-jokes, appreciate the comments within, and recognise every single reference within the book. If you're looking for an episode guide, this is not it. It's a cute scrapbook of Buffy: the High School Years laid out like the Sunnydale High Yearbook, and includes plenty of pictures as well as articles about various school events and societies, with comments from the characters scrawled in (Oz's apology to Buffy for chattering on is hilarious) including a must-read poem by Cordelia and Snyder's remark that at least he can be sure that the school will remain standing long after she leaves it. The pictures near the end include information about each of the characters, ranging from the central figures like Buffy, Willow, Xander, etc to Jonathan and Harmony, to the once-off characters from Season 1 that we'd forgotten about, under headings like interests, activities, and a quote from each of them, as well as their memories. This is possibly the most detailed, for-the-most-obsessive-of-fans section, with characters' shout-outs to one another about various events. My favourite part of the book is one of the ads near the end, placed by a student who has a secret crush on Jonathan and hopes one day to tell him. Very sweet. For die-hard fans, a fun read.
Rating: Summary: Preserve your High School memories of Buffy and the Scoobies Review: If you were going to try to pull off a Sunnydale High Yearbook, Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder are the people you want doing it. As the main authors of "The Watcher's Guide" they know the background on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as well as anyone this side of Joss Whedon. The least realistic parts of the yearbook are the "32 pages of full-color photos," but that is no big deal. You have sections on "The Prom" and "Homecoming," "Band Candy" and "A Message from Some Concerned Parents" (Mothers Opposed to the Occult, remember them?), events like "Halloween" and "The Talent Show," messages from Principal Snyder and the Faculty, and since this is Sunnydale several pages "In Memoriam." Be sure to check out the sponsorship ads in the back. Buffy and the Scooby Gang have signed the front piece and their comments appear throughout the book. The only part that is somewhat disappointing is the "Student" section where a good portion of the photographs are silhouettes. But to be fair, how many ordinary students do you think they have actually named during the show? Part of the fun is to go through this section and match the "student" (Michelle Blake, Scott Hope, Amy Madison, etc.) with the correct episodes. Test your Buffy trivia knowledge. A nice addition for the Buffy devotee this volume looks more like a real high school yearbook than I would have thought they could carry off.

Rating: Summary: Thoughts of a Fanboy Review: In the core set of MUST have books for Buffy fans, the most important is the Watchers Guide's and Monster Book. However for cool and fun value the Yearbook is well produced and a nice souvenir.
