Dusted: The Unauthorised Guide to Buffy The Vampire Slayer has been out in the US since last November but is growing in popularity. It may be unauthorised and contain the odd typo, but the book goes so deep into every episode that these things are easy to overlook. It's very analytical and yet not too heavy to read.
Dusted not only covers all 144 episodes but it also has a music guide, detailed coverage on the comic book series, behind-the-scenes information, character development and a rolling Slayer kill-count.
