"Stephenie Meyer has revealed plans to release The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide.  The book - due for release next year - has been described as &amp;quot;the definitive encyclopedic reference&amp;quot; to the vampire franchise. The first Twilight novel was released in 2005 and went on to spawn a further three books, a novella and a series of blockbuster movies starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m always amazed at how many in-depth questions my readers have about my characters and the world within the Twilight Saga,&amp;quot; said Meyer.  &amp;quot;With [this], I hoped we could incorporate as many details as possible, including character histories, like Alice&amp;#039;s back story.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m thrilled with the different artistic interpretations done by Young Kim and the other talented illustrators, including Bella&amp;#039;s wedding dress. I hope the fans feel it was worth the wait!&amp;quot; A press release has teased that fans can expect the full-colour guide to contain &amp;quot;exclusive new material&amp;quot; including &amp;quot;character profiles, outtakes, a conversation with Meyer, genealogical charts, maps, extensive cross-references, and much more&amp;quot;. The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide will be released by Little, Brown Books on April 12, 2011.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
