4.0 out of 5 stars A Visual Guide For Stargate Fans, August 10, 2007

By	M. Staffeld - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The 'Stargate Ultimate Visual Guide' is a good book for those Stargate fans who are fairly new to the series or would like to add to their 'Stargate' collections. The text is well written and the photos are nice and clear.

The book does provide a brief summary of each of the Stargate personnel, an overall summary of the Asgardians and their enemies, alien civilizations encountered by the team, Replicators, technology and some of the story arcs. The book does not go into any great depth overall with characters or plots but a novice fan can get a good idea of the characters and the major story arcs.

Overall the book is a good book to present to novice Stargate fans or for devoted followers of the show. The only drawback? You cannot dial a gate of your own.
