Summary: Disappointed
Review: When I saw this book at the local [store], I was really excited because I love this show and already own all the dvd's. After shelling out [money] for it, however, I realized that it really wasn't worth it. The bulk of the book is made up of summaries and screenshots from the first 5 episodes. This might have been cool, but it was better actually watching the episodes, which I had already done atleast five times. So even though the pictures are cool and there is some information on the characters I didn't know, this book is for hardcore fans/geeks only... those who need to know all the personal information about each and every minor character. Final verdict: Only buy this if you are completely obsessed with the series and have already purchased all the dvd's. Maybe if you find the book used on amazon ... it would be a good deal, but otherwise you're just going to be disappointed.

Summary: Insider's Guide to a Space Cowboy's Life...
Review: When I snatched (actually purchased) this book, I was instantly drawn in. I mean drawn in. The images are clear and crisp, and I enjoyed reading the play-by-play mode of the episode summaries. While the book doesn't contain my favorite session, I absolutely loved viewing the screencaps of Spike's life courtesy of Session 5: Ballad of Fallen Angels. In the back is an art file filled with black & white drawings of the characters. Interesting and filled with information for any die-hard Bebop fan, the Cowboy Bebop Anime Guide is a definitive must.
