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.

This book is AWESOME! For a huge Stargate SG-1 fan, it has everything you could want in pictures and information. I can only imagine how many hours went into putting it all together. Outstanding job by Kathleen Ritter! If you have just starting watching, this is a great tool to get caught up. This is a must have book for all Stargate watchers!! Thanks!

A 'visual guide' DVD is included with a fine survey of Stargate SG-1's popular television science fiction world, from discussions of characters, technologies, and stories to 600 color images from the series. This would make the perfect gift for any avid Stargate SG-1 fan: it packs in trivia and information about the series and the bonus DVD includes interviews, a gallery of original artwork by James C.D. Robbins, and even a trivia game.

Kate Ritter did a Wonderful job of putting together this book. I highly recommend this book to all Stargate fans. Very detailed, and easy to understand. I also recommend it to anyone who has just become a Stargate fan. They will really enjoy it! :-) Hats off to Kate Ritter for writing such a Wonderful Book! :-)

The visual guide is a must have for fans of the series. It is well researched and written.

For "Gaters," this is a great read/see and reference piece with a fun DVD on board, smack in the middle of the front cover's Stargate. Buy two, one to riffle through 'til it's happily dog-eared, and one to squirrel away for resale on the future collectibles market. Even better, buy more to give away to help support the franchise, ensure more SG-1 adventures, and addict those poor ignorant souls who have been isolated on some podunk gateless planet.

"Stargate SG-1: The Ultimate Visual Guide" is an excellent overview of everything SG-1 through Season 9. The pictures are fantastic! There are great sections on each of the major characters and even some great sections on the minor characters (like Sgt. Siler). The breakdown of the Goa'uld infrastructure shows exactly how involved the creators of the show are. There are also a lot of pictures and descriptions of the technology of the SGC, their allies and enemies. Absolutely fantastic for the tecno-geek who loves that stuff (like me!). A must-have for anyone interested in the world of SG-1.

As a visual guide the book's overall pretty great for general interest and for those not very familiar with the series. There are also useful plot and arc summaries along with season summaries to help understand the series or fill in gaps for those that may have missed sections. However, as a fan and someone who is making costumes and props, I found the book a bit lacking in detail and clean, concise images of various items and uniforms. There's a hodgepodge of useful stuff, but it only scratches the surface in the amount of detail that the studio and writers poured into this series. The book could have easily been three times larger, and I was hoping it would have been. I have not checked out the included CD/DVD disc yet, however.

I purchased this for a friend and was amazed at the content. I was also pleasantly surprised when I found one with MY name on it for Christmas. Can't wait to read it! Photos are fantastic!

This is a great guild for SG-1. It covers just about every character, and different weapons, gear and ships. It also discuses the "gods", and other Stargate sci-fidom. And has a summary of the nine of the tens years of missions.

It is NOT a full guide of the whole SG-1 seires (seasons 1-10 plus movies)
