If you are a Buffy fan then your coffee table won't be complete this Hallowe'en unless it has this copy of the scripts from the first half of Season Two. There are six of them and look much as they would do when they were in use making this cult series, complete with production notes and even some parts that were omitted. Read on and make up your mind why!

Here too are all the clues that make up a compelling picture of Joss Whedon's vision. The descriptions of what people look like (Spike has "eyes sparkling with anarchy" and Drusilla who enters for the first time "looking at everything with the quiet wonder of a child") and the places where things happen. Relieve the episodes when a trip to the local museum turns out to be a date with an Inca mummy for Xander, Cordelia dates a college boy and ends up at a rather unusual Frat party and we find out how the folk of Sunnydale celebrate Hallowe'en. All in all it is a useful and entertaining addition to the other books available on this cult series and a reminder of how it all began. Nobody will ever accuse you of having a boring coffee table again!
