1.0 out of 5 stars
Pass on this, February 7, 2000
This review is from: The New & Improved Buffy the Vampire Slayer Internet Guide (Paperback)
As a devoted non-teenaged Buffy fan, I have spent more time than I care to admit surfing for decent Buffy/Angel sites. I wanted something other than the same set of publicity shots and badly spelled FanFic. I was excited by the concept of the Internet guide, but disappointed when I got the book. For the amount of money, I figured I would get a decent sized-book, and was dismayed to find it was only a pamphlet. I would say that at least 50% of the sites rated in the book no longer existed, or had moved, by the time I received it. If you know your way around search engines, you can pass on this one.

Not much better than any Web search engine, January 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The New & Improved Buffy the Vampire Slayer Internet Guide (Paperback)
I really wouldn't recommend that any "Buffy" fan who's half-way familiar with the Internet get this book. First, it's put together like 'books' I used to create in grade school - cardboard-like cover with copied pages on the inside. Second, there really aren't that many Web sites listed. Go to "Yahoo" or "Alta Vista" and you'll be able to find more, or to the links page on any halfway decent 'Buffy' site. The author has also ignored some of the more established Web sites, and has neglected to include some of the standout features of the sites that are mentioned. HOWEVER, if you're new to the Internet and looking for an easy way to find some 'Buffy'-related sites, this may be a good buy for you.

Search engine in a book, July 9, 2000
This review is from: The New & Improved Buffy the Vampire Slayer Internet Guide (Paperback)
It makes a great paperweight! Seriously, if you can use Yahoo, Webcrawler, Dogpile, Metacrawler, etc...then you don't need this book. And with the way the internet is always changing, very few of these websites will have the same exact address in a year or two. I mean, look at Domain of the Slain ... Rest In Peace... My opinion...PASS on this book...
