[Batsap · Rating 3 out of 5]

Only covers up to about halfway through series three and some of the entries could have done with being more thorough. For example, for some of the entries under an alien species' name, all it said was 'an alien species'. I would have preferred a description of the race, its customs and what they did in the episode they appeared in. But overall, it's a fun thing for a B5 fan to have.

This was obviously written in a hurry - there are a few spelling mistakes, like Vir Cotto/Kotto - and it only goes up to about half way through the show, but it's still fairly useful for a quick reference.

Its what the cover says its a Bible to the B5 universe. Just to bad it not have the final season inside so it leaves you hanging for book 2.
