This book is proof that we have done the impossible, and continue to do so, even almost a decade after the airwaves have forgotten Serenity and her crew, and the pitter pater of tiny feet in huge combat boots has since faded into the black; After all, you can never stop the signal."
"This product is actually 3 books in 1; I have the soft cover version of two of the three books, which I bought separately several years ago. Like the soft covers I bought, this book contains the scripts from the episodes of the show along with other neat features."
"It has so much information in it, and every page is colorful and interesting, covering every imaginable thing from the show and movie - scripts, characters, costumes, weapons, ships - at various stages of development."
"Collection of all the old stuff in a great package."
"Great book."
"The network execs sure screwed up on this one - they had a gold mine with Firefly and, for whatever reason, didn't have the intelligence or foresight to keep it going."
"Well worth the money. Also wished one of the photos could have been Serenity!"
"If you hate Firefly: buy this now...and take it to a thrift store to show your contempt."
