Title: A good reference for the Valdemar books
Product review: Best purchased by fans who have bought any of the Gryphon books, the Herald books, or the Oath books. The Novella is good. The Traveler's guide is humorous (and like any travel guide contains a few errors!). I found the interview with Ms. Wollheim a bit interesting. (She would like to see more of Vanyel too.) The story excerpts are good - I had to be careful not to read the ones for the few books I have yet to read. The maps were too few, and not area/city maps like I'd hoped. And necessarily the concordance is a little dry (they mention ALMOST every character mentioned in the books, even though some of those characters were NEVER fleshed out).If you want to be able to quickly refresh about a particular Valdemar novel, or find a certain character, THIS is the book for you. (No, you can't have my copy. It may not be a 5, but it's still mine.)
