Buffy has been a TV and publishing phenomenon with countless official and not so official books appearing to cash in the hippest TV series for years. For those who don't know, Buffy Summers is a 16-year-old Californian girl who has been chosen for the awful task of slaying the undead with an array of weapons, a few handy martial arts moves and a killer dress sense. Not only does she have to cope with the armies of vampires that have set up camp in her home town of Sunnydale but there is also the small problem of being a teenager to get to grips with too. The Sunnydale High School Yearbook is a nice, fun addition to the Buffy universe, presenting lots of in joke material in the form of Buffy's High School Yearbook, complete with little handwritten notes from her best friends and lots of reminders about people, places and events that have been part of her vampire-slaying high school years. For newcomers to the show, a lot of the material is simply too ingrained in backstory to make much sense, but for those devoted to all things Buffy, it will make a great addition to their bookshelf. The photos are great and authors Golden and Holder have put so much enthusiasm and care into the book that you can't help but devour it. More than simply a cash in, this is a worthy and well thought out Buffy tie-in book. --Joanne Wells
