Help with topping.

[Skytteflickan88]

I just bought Slayer; a totally cool unofficial guide to Buffy by Keith Topping. And I just discovered that there are two other books with Keith Topping, updated with more seasons!(The Complete Slayer: An Unofficial and Unauthorized Guide to Every Episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the latest.)

My question is, before I sell this one and buy the updated version, has anyone read this book and Keith's other unofficial guides and can tell me if the info from this book is repeated in these new books. The page count grwos so I figure that the new book is just expanded, not edited.

Kieth Topping, who is a BNF in Who fandom and has written guides to Stargate series. I've had issues with his guides to Angle and BtVS because each time I start reading his guides I have to always keep reminding myself and repeat this as an internal mantra: "Topping is a fan of both series", since often times when one reads his texts is very easy to forget that.

As a counter recommendation, I really like Bite Me and Once Bitten, guides to BtVS and AtS, written by Nikki Stafford (FYI, Nikki has written guides to Lost and [/i]Xena:Warrior Princess[/i]) And if you have issues with Stafford's texts (and some do), there are Dusted, a guide to BtVS, and Redeemed, a guide to AtS, by Lars Pearson (another BNF Who fan) and Christa Dickson, and I can recommend those two, also.
