What time is it? Adventure TimeÖ! Explore the magical world of Ooo with Jake the dog and Finn the human, along with the Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline the Vampire Queen, and all your favorite Adventure Time characters, in this first official guide to Cartoon Network's hit animated series. Written and compiled by the Lord of Evil himself, The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia matches the playful, subversive tone of the series, detailing everything anyone will ever need to know about the postapocalyptic land of Ooo and its inhabitants--secret lore and spells, fun places you should visit and places where you will probably die, whom to marry and whom not to marry, how to make friends and how to destroy your enemies--plus hand-written marginalia by Finn, Jake, and Marceline. An indispensable companion to the show, this side-splittingly funny love letter to Adventure Time is sure to appeal to fans of all ages. Heck yeah!

While this was sold, and mostly presents as new, the front cover has been opened either far enough or often enough, that the paste down end paper has become disconnected from the spine at the hinge, and there is no resistance while opening it fully. This was so pronounced that when I opened it for the first time I was quite concerned that it wasn't actually new. However, subsequent inspection reviled no further reason to suspect it's status. While I am convinced there is no ill intention here, I would still prefer to not pay new prices for this book. Maybe used, in excellent condition?

BEST Adventure Time Book yet!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2013

I had preordered this book quite a while ago, and to my unequivocal happiness, the Adventure Time Encyclopaedia turned out to be utterly awesome! If you are new to the Adventure Time universe, or if you are a day-one fan, or if you just want some information on a show that enlightens your conversations with your kids, this is the book to do it.

You will notice two things the instant you get this book in your hands. 1) The format is a bit smaller than most other "encyclopedias", and 2) The quality is immediately evident the minute you open the cover.

Some readers have complained about the size of this book, but I have to say, the 'digest' size of The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia is absolutely perfect for a number of reasons. It is easier to carry along with you wherever you go, it fits into most bags, backpacks, briefcases, etc.. rather easily, and it doesn't take up wasted space on your bookshelf. I have noticed a large number of publishers migrating to this particular size and I am glad that they are.

The quality of this book is amazing in that it keeps with the unique art style and character designs of the show, but casts a whole new light on the land of OOO. Everything that we know and love is new again. EVERY piece of art in this book is a masterpiece, even more so if you are an Adventure Time fan, and it really brings the text to life while putting a big grin on the readers face. The layout of the book is perfect. The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia is made out to be "authored" by Marceline's father, Hunson Abadeer, and so right off the bat we are treated to specific warnings telling us not to continue to read for fear of terrible things happening to the 'unworthy readers' and one of the most unique, and reassuring, forwards in any book I've read. The letter-fonts used throughout the book could not be more appropriate, including those used by Finn, Jake, and Marceline as they scribble notes through the many chapters, and the pages are beautifully printed on a thick, matte stock. As mentioned earlier, the artwork is astounding and the colors are vivid when needed, and dreary in all the right places. Even the front and back cover are a testament to the quality of this product. Offering a hardbound well printed cover, mixing both glossy and flat artwork with a cool, old-school print in the background.

Hardcore fans will find something new in this book, and new fans will be delighted to learn all that this book has to offer. From the awesome two-page map of the land of OOO printed on the inside cover, to the quirky biographies of all the main-players in Adventure Time, all the way to the final page containing the lyrics of Marceline's "Daddy, Why Did You Eat my Fries" hit song, this book is amazing and fun to read over and over. Let's not get into all the lore, wizard's spells, and great locations strew about the land of OOO...... instead, just pick this book up yourself. You definitely will not regret it, and this book truly is worth the wait and worth every penny spent on it!

This is a great little book written from Abadeer's perspective on the Land of Ooo and its many inhabitants, with margin comments by Marceline, Finn, and Jake. It should be noted however, that there is no "new" information in this book. Perhaps to some who haven't seen all the episodes (or are just starting to get into the show), some sections may certainly help clear things up, but for the most part this is a book made to accompany the existing canon in a more streamlined fashion rather than give insight into unknown aspects of the Land of Ooo.

The book's sections are as follows:

-- Detailed bio pages on Finn, Jake, PB, Marceline, Ice King, Lady Rainicorn, and LSP.
-- A-to-Z mini bios on recurring / minor characters
-- A mini glossary on Wizards
-- A mini glossary on Princesses
-- Ice King's fanfiction (made to look as though drawn and written by Ice King himself)
-- An instruction manual for BMO
-- PB's Travel Guide to the Candy Kingdom and Beyond
-- Marceline's Travel Blog for Demon Backpackers
-- Excerpts from The Enchiridion
-- Abadeer's Novelty Spells and Cures
-- Rather creepy end pages which I will leave you to discover for yourself, but let this be a warning that it may not be appropriate for young children.

Now as much as I enjoy the consistent writing style and voice throughout, there are some missing characters whose absences I can't really understand, particularly when Abadeer really has no business knowing a few of the characters that /were/ included in the book. Granted, I understand that not every single character can be included, but I can't really make a case for every character that was included in the book either.

Off the top of my head, here are a few notable characters missing from the A-to-Z mini bios:

-- Flame Princess (I would just like to point out that she only "appears" twice: First in Finn's bio pages when she's described as his "rebound fixation," and second in PB's guide to the Fire Kingdom when she's described as the Flame King's "very hip teenage daughter." That's it. Nothing else about her.)
-- Gumball Guardian
-- Cosmic Owl
-- Pillow People
-- Island Lady
-- Prismo
-- Psychic War Elephant
-- Bounce House Princess
-- Lady Rainicorn's parents (as a preemptive note to the angry commenter, Jake's and LSP's parents are included.)
-- Sleeping Magi
-- probably several others.

In short, I still very much enjoyed Abadeer's humor in this book and, while I don't really understand how some characters were included over others, I would recommend this as a gift to anyone who enjoys Adventure Time, provided they understand that they won't really receive any "behind the scenes info," as one reviewer has criticized. Read the book description provided by Amazon before you decided whether you would like to purchase the book; it'll save you a world of imagined disappointment.

WOULD RECOMMEND FOR ANY ADVENTURE TIME FAN !!

The headline may seem dramatic but we ordered a used copy of this book and it was in such good quality - no tears or scratches or anything (-that you may expect / get with other sellers / books ) . We have not read this book , but have flipped through it - it is in good quality (-lots of imagery and the colour in the book is not faded or anything ) . Would recommend if you are a fan of adventure time or if you just getting into ad adventure time .

PSYCHIC TANDEM WAR ELEPHANT!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 2, 2015

I am a new(ish) Adventure Time convert - I just love everything about the show, pretty much!

So after devouring the first 5 seasons I bought this wanting to know more and more about this weird world. Unfortunately I didn't take the time to look at this properly - I was hoping for an extension of the show, from its creators that might give us some more backstory, insight in to why there is a chunk of the Earth missing etc, as well as the funny sort of scrapbook material you'd expect. Sadly this is mostly just the scrap book stuff. There is some genuinely good writing and nice parts to this book (I love the map!). Having Hunsen Abadeer (Marceline's dad) narrate the book starts as a neat idea, but soon becomes boring as he bangs on and on about how loathsome this is and how he'll soon be sucking the soul of that.... It switches up in a few places, but a better approach would have been to have each major character do a section each (imagine Lemongrab's!!!! UNACCCEPTAAABBLLLLLEEEE!!)
Overall, I give the author mad respects y'all for the sheer level of detail and genuine affection for the show he has used to write this, and it is def worth your time giving it a read (its excellent bathroom reading.....). I just hope someone releases the book I really want to read - I suppose it would need the help of Pendleton Ward. GET A MOVE ON WARD!

Who doesn’t like Adventure Time? No one! It’s a brilliant show with wonderfully realised characters, fantastic animation and brilliantly mad storylines.

My son developed a slight addiction to watching the cartoon on television so I purchased this as an extra addition to his addiction. Not only is it well made but it’s full of wonderful imagery and art, fantastic writing and really does look absolutely super. He was over the moon with this and spent hours and hours pouring over the information in here with wide eyes.

A great book for Adventure Time fans!

I have not actually read the book myself, I did find it intreging when I opened up the first page and there was a warning on it. I bought the book for my 15 year old granddaughter who finds this kind of book interesting. I would consider buying other books of this type as a stocking filler again.
