A Visual Guide For Stargate Fans, Aug 10 2007
By M. Staffeld - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate Ultimate Visual Guide (Hardcover)
The 'Stargate Ultimate Visual Guide' is a good book for those Stargate fans who are fairly new to the series or would like to add to their 'Stargate' collections. The text is well written and the photos are nice and clear.
The book does provide a brief summary of each of the Stargate personnel, an overall summary of the Asgardians and their enemies, alien civilizations encountered by the team, Replicators, technology and some of the story arcs. The book does not go into any great depth overall with characters or plots but a novice fan can get a good idea of the characters and the major story arcs.
Overall the book is a good book to present to novice Stargate fans or for devoted followers of the show. The only drawback? You cannot dial a gate of your own.

This book is AWESOME! For a huge Stargate SG-1 fan, it has everything you could want in pictures and information. I can only imagine how many hours went into putting it all together. Outstanding job by Kathleen Ritter! If you have just starting watching, this is a great tool to get caught up. This is a must have book for all Stargate watchers!! Thanks!

A fine survey of Stargate SG-1's popular television science fiction world, July 7 2007
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate Ultimate Visual Guide (Hardcover)
A 'visual guide' DVD is included with a fine survey of Stargate SG-1's popular television science fiction world, from discussions of characters, technologies, and stories to 600 color images from the series. This would make the perfect gift for any avid Stargate SG-1 fan: it packs in trivia and information about the series and the bonus DVD includes interviews, a gallery of original artwork by James C.D. Robbins, and even a trivia game.
