The Book Store 

Do you have the "Giles' disease"?   A compulsive need to be surrounded by books?  Or are you a Buffy fan looking for more info on the cast and the show?  Anyway, here are a list of books with a short review so you can easily find what you are looking for.  The links will send you to the Barnes&Nobles site, as an internet based company you'll see the price are much cheaper.  Note they have a couple other Buffy merchandizes (postcard, student planner).  So far this place is called "the Bookstore", I wish it was called "the Library".  The difference would be that in the library all the book reviews would be by ME.  I'm broke right now so I can't do it...  but as soon as some money comes in I'll read all this stuff, redesign the place and give my visitors a construcive critique of those works.

Publisher's reviews:

Volume 1:  Angel became a vampire hundreds of years ago in Ireland, but was cursed by gypsies and forever roams the earth with a soul.

"The Buffy Chronicles: The Unofficial Companion to Buffy the Vampire Slayer" --  $12.00 (-20%)

Synopsis:  If you love watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" every Monday night, then don't miss this book. Providing you with the inside scoop about the show and taking you behind the scenes, it's a must for all Buffy fans.

Publisher's review:  The Buffy Chronicles: The Unofficial Companion to Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a fun and informative look at the first season and a half of the series. From body snatchers and poltergeists to werewolves and mummies, it provides the inside track on the show's strange yet seductive characters and topics. The Buffy Chronicles includes a retrospective of the film that started it all, a history of vampire legends, cast information, plot synopses, and behind-the-scenes trivia. From "The Death Toll," a roster of who's been killed by whom in each episode, to "I Fall to Pieces," a guide to the alternative music and bands that add so much atmosphere, this book has everything Buffy's fans could want.

"The Girl's Got Bite:  the Unofficial Guide to Buffy's World" -- (pp. 256) -- $ 11.96

"Essential Angel" -- $ 6.39 (-20%)

Publisher's review:   Featuring 15 full-color, gorgeous photos of Angel, the tortured vampire of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series, and the star of his own spin-off series in the fall of 1999, this book also contains quotes and a character profile.
 

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer:  the Postcards" -- (pp. 44) --  $ 6.40 (-20%)

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer Student Planner" -- $ 8.76 (-20%)

Aside from all the books and stuff listed here, there are a lot of books (format and prices similar to "Angel Chronicles").  But I can't add much to this page without making it 'messy' and too long to go through.  I know some want all the Buffy material, but please don't ask me for the link!  Same thing for vampire stuff in general.  I'm not gonna list 1,596,647 books in here...  I can only tell you that:  type "Buffy" or "vampire" in the search engine below.
