Before purchasing Meet Sailor Moon and Friends & Foes, Moonies should be aware that there really isn't that much substance to either book. There's nothing more than selected stills from the 90's anime and covers up until the midway point through the first season.
In Meet Sailor Moon: Friends and Foes, we get more of the same information from the first book, introducing the girls. At least here there's a segment where they reveal the girls astronomical signs, favorite animal and favorite color. (Spoilers: their favorite colors are the colors on their sailor fuku.) There's a page for the royal moon kingdom, introducing queen serenity and blurbing a bit about the events that transpired before the series, a bit about Queen Beryl and her four generals and the 7 rainbow crystal monsters. Nothing new really that fans don't already know. Does any of this make for a bad book? Not really, as these books were made for young readers.
Honestly, if you can pick them up for cheap, I'd recommend them to someone who's on a nostalgia trip or wants their young child to get into Sailor Moon. They aren't bad books, but please don't go for the Ebay approach, they're a tad bit expensive the last I checked.

I had Sailor Moon fever growing up, and this book was ESSENTIAL.

Oh my gosh, I was so excited to find this book. It was published during that wave of Sailor Moon marketing in the US that brought us such items as Sailor Moon bubble bath. :D I own this book and its companion, Meet Sailor Moon. It brings back such nostalgia looking through it... :D Sadly it is high school nostalgia, despite the book being targeted at 6 year olds! :D
