This is a great book to learn even more about the land of Xanth from characters to hazards. The authors portray a terrific summary of the books. Even though I've just started reading about Xanth I think The Visual Guide to Xanth is a must read even before you start the others!

I think that it is an excelent book to review or look up what a creature is. It is also good for exploring and disscuvering each creatures being. The only the draw back to it that I can think of is the fact that as new books and creatures come out, a new one will probably have to be made so that each creature is covered.

Enter Piers Anthony's World of Make Believe, Meet all of the Characters that make Piers Anthonys so Great. Explore the Depths of the Gap Chasm, Meet Jenny Elf - The Little Girl Taken from Mundania and Thrust into a better world of Loving People and Creatures. And When your all done Pluck a Pillow from the Pillow Tree and Curl up to this Great Book... Robert Gilber

If you have read 1, 2, 3, or all of the Xanth novels and enjoyed them, then you will love this book! It is great for anyone who loves to completely immerse themselves in a world of fantasy. I definitely reccommend this book.

The Xanth stories are full of wonderful puns and jokes. It also is filled with action, romance, and young women whom, for some reason or another show their panties to creatures. This is not a dirty book however. This is perfect from young adult to ancient adult.

I love Xanth and this book was good, but some of the illustrations of the characters dont look the way that Anthony has described them in his books. its excellent for reference if youre new to the Xanth series, however.

Great Book! I think there could have been some color added, but other than that, This book is worth the 15 bucks! The more Piers writes the Xanth novels, a 2nd Edition will have to be made.

I had this book when I was younger and don't know where it went. I absolutely love the Xanth series by Piers Anthony and this book, though dated with all the newer released books, is a great addition with pictures and maps, etc.

I rated this low because the title is misleading. This is an encyclopedia of Xanth, not a visual guide. It does give a lot of information on all things Xanth, but most of the items don't have drawings, the few drawings that are there are black and white pencil sketches, and they're often inaccurate--often don't match the descriptions in the books. This is by no means a "visual guide", but it does have a lot of information on Xanth and may be of interest to a devoted fan of the series or a collector.

This is a good book for getting you acquainted with the Xanth series. I have been reading them for years, but get confused which comes next as they are not all numbered. I like them as one leads into another. Maybe someone has these listed somewhere from start to most recent? ...
