This book is huge, being close to 1.75" thick, containing 590 pages. It is 12.25" H x 9" W in size. It's a heavy book. The binding seems to be strong and hold, but only time will tell if the binding will not be strong enough for continued viewings. This book has summaries and additional information from each episode from Season 1 and 2 from He-Man, and from Season 1 and 2 from She-Ra. See my pictures. There is a short 4-page section at the end of the book, that gives short summaries of episodes that had been approved, but were never made/produced. There are many sketches in pencil and in color, of characters and environments. The end also has a nice 1-page description of Lou Scheimer. The pictures I uploaded show the variety of types of pages included in this book.
This is a book that has been over 30 years in the making - literally! Pretty much anything you could possibly ask for in an episode guide is included in this wonderful tome. Each thick, beautifully laid-out page contains an episode synopsis, memorable quotes from the episode, the cast of characters who appear in the episode, deleted scenes, trivia, episode title/air date/production number, bonus information, and, of course, reviews! Whew! On top of all of this, there is also animation cels, production sketches, background paintings, and never-before-seen artwork to make an already invaluable guide even better.My heartfelt thanks and eternal gratitude go out to James Eatock, Robert Lamb, Alex Hawkey, DarkHorse Books and everyone involved in the production of this incredible book. From the very first page you will know how much love and dedication went into the making of this work. Not only is the information spot-on, but it carries a real sense of care and humor in each of the author's reviews and captions. Every page acts as a reminder to why we love He-Man, She-Ra and their universe so dearly.I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If I were able to, I'd give this ten-stars - easily. I have always considered myself to be a huge Masters of the Universe / Princess of Power fan, but even I found something new on every page! If you are a fan of He-Man, or if you just enjoy a magnificently constructed guide to the world of one the 80's most iconic products, then you owe it to yourself to pick this book up. Trust me, if you are reading this review then I know you have some working knowledge of He-Man and She-Ra. Get this book, you will not regret it.
Wow, the production quality of this GIANT book is fantastic. Feels like it should be $50-$100, although time will tell if the binding will hold up. The book is so heavy that it is hard to even hold on my torso when I lie down reading it.Now, all He-Fans know who James Eatock is and the labor of love put into this book. If you are into He-Man.org and listen to He-Man podcasts, just get this for your collection and support the brand. The biggest nerds already know all the trivia, and may be disappointed that most of the text is about episode plot summaries, but even I learned new trivia just browsing through the episode pages.This book is useful as an episode companion, so read the episode in the book and then actually watch it. If you try to read the book straight in order like I did the first time, it gets boring because you have no real frame of reference, even if you saw an episode 10 times.The one drawback is that I wanted social commentary/analysis/interviews. Reading through episode summaries is boring, the best parts are the rating paragraph and the trivia sections. So there is actually not a lot of "juicy meat" content, which is ironic since the book is soooo long.Aspiring artists take note- the Filmation artwork is so huge and perfect in this book- much better than anything you have seen on the internet, that you could easily use them as a reference for fan art.
