Original Works in English, German, French and Italian
|
 |
Kathleen TRACY, "The Girl’s Got Bite. The Unofficial Guide to Buffy’s World"
Paperback, Los Angeles: Renaissance Books, 1998.
A non-official guide to the TV show up to May 1998 ("Becoming, Part II"). More interested in characters than in the mythology, although with a good section on "the real horror" metaphorically symbolized by the monsters in each episode. |
 |
Christopher GOLDEN - Nancy HOLDER, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Watcher’s Guide"
Paperback, NewYork - London - Toronto - Sidney - Tokyo - Singapore: Pocket Books, 1998.
The official guide (also up to May 1998, "Becoming, Part II") and the one book you need to learn almost everything about the show, the characters, the actors, the creators. Strong on mythology.
There is also a hardback edition of this book, but it is a collector's item that never reached the general distribution. |
 |
N.E. GENGE, "The Buffy Chronicles: The Unofficial Companion to Buffy The Vampire Slayer"
Paperback, New York: Three Rivers Press, 1998.
Another guide up to May 1998. Does not add very much to Tracy and Golden & Holder, although Genge is an entertaining writer. If you like playing trivia about Buffy, on the other hand, this is definitely your book. |
 |
Jan GABRIEL, "Meet the Stars of Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
Paperback, New York: Scholastic Inc., 1998.
More oriented to fans of the actors. Includes some information on them (and, occasionally, the show) not found elsewhere. |
 |
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Postcards"
New York: Pocket Books, 1999.
A collection of postcards. No text. |
 |
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Essential Angel"
New York - London - Toronto - Sidney - Tokyo - Singapore: An Archway Paperback by Pocket Books, 1999.
Mostly photographs for the joy of Boreanaz's fans. Some text. |
 |
Christopher GOLDEN - Nancy HOLDER, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sunnydale High Yearbook"
New York - London - Toronto - Sidney - Tokyo - Singapore: Pocket Books, 1999
Your favorite high school's yearbook. Very much like an usual yearbook, except that Sunnydale High is not exactly usual. The yearbook format comes out handy to trace minor characters and easily forgotten episodes. |
 |
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1999-2000 Student Planner"
San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 1999
A student planner, with lists such as "commonly misspelled words" but no list of slayable demons. However, it offers one nice photograph for each week. |
 |
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer Calendar"
San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 1999.
Wall edition. |
 |
Tina Marie KUEPKER, "The Unofficial Buffy the Vampire Slayer Internet Guide"
Lightning Rod Unlimited, Port Orchard (Washington), 1999
As of today, useful. Will get old in a few months (Internet addresses change). |
 |
Cynthia BORIS, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer : Pop Quiz"
Pulse, 1999.
A very nice quiz book. Hard-core fans will probably find some small mistakes (or debatable answers) but will still enjoy the games. |
 |
Peter MANN, "The Slayer Files: A completely and utterly unauthorised guide to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER"
Paperback, Harpenden (Herts, England): Pocket Essentials, 1999.
Part of the aptly named "Pocket Essentials", a very quick British guide to Seasons 1, 2, and 3. Short summaries of each episode, and nothing more. |
 |
Keith TOPPING, "Slayer: The Totally Cool Unofficial Guide to Buffy"
Paperback, London: Virgin, 1999.
A non-official guide to the TV show for Seasons 1, 2, and 3 with something about the novels, too. More comprehensive than Mann, and nice if you want to find out what was "wrong" in both episodes and novels, i.e. contradicted another episode. |
 |
Talis PELUCIR, "The Unofficial Buffy the Vampire Slayer New & Improved Internet Guide by Lighting Rod Unlimited"
Paperback, Port Orchard (Washington): Lightning Rod Unlimited, 1999.
Update of Kuepker 1999 (see above), will also fatally need to be replaced in a few months. And the publisher promises to include new sites only if they agree to put a link to Lightning Rod. |
 |
Christopher GOLDEN - Stephen R.. BISSETTE - Thomas E. SNIEGOSKI, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Monster Book"
Paperback, NewYork - London - Toronto - Sidney - Singapore: Pocket Books, 2000.
The best Buffy book, simply. Through a gallery of monsters (both supernatural and human) all the TV series is effectively reviewed up to the end of Season 4. |
 |
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2001 Calendar"
San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 2000.
2001 Wall edition. |
 |
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2000-2001 Student Planner"
San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 2000
A student planner, very similar to the 1999-2000 editions but with updated photographs (featuring - quite prominently - Riley). |
 |
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2000-2001 Locker Calendar with Hanger"
San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 2000.
2001 locker edition - a new item. |
 |
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer Big Sticker Book"
San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 2000.
A cute new item: "I like my secrets. They're secret" and other immortal pieces of the Slayer's wisdom. |
 |
"Angel 2001 Calendar"
San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 2000.
2001 Wall edition.
Limited Availability |
 |
"Angel 2000-2001 Student Planner"
San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 2000
A new Angel student planner, very similar to Buffy's but with nice Angel photos. |
 |

San Rafael (California): Cedco Publishing Company, 2000.
2001 locker edition - a new item. |

Christian LUKAS - Sascha WESTPHAL, "Buffy - Im Bann der Dämonen. Das inoffizielle Fanbuch über die neue Kultserie und ihre Hintergründe"
Paperback, München: Droemer Knaur Verlag, 1999.
First original non-fiction book in a language other than English. A guide to Season 1 and 2. Surprisingly good, with comments on the pop culture and mythological roots of each episode. |
 |
Christian LUKAS - Sascha WESTPHAL, "Buffy - Die neuen Abenteuer. Das inoffizielle Fanbuch über die 3. Staffel der Kultserie und ihre Hintergründe"
Paperback, München: Droemer Knaur Verlag, 1999.
On Season 3, as good as Lukas & Westphal's previous book. This is the first book covering all Season 3 episodes, and it comes in German!
