Very detailed, with a lot of information. Of course it could be larger, with much more information on other ships, aliens, etc., but it accomplishes everything it promises.

If you're very into B5, then you will probably enjoy this item. It is good fun, with some interesting detail of the station (although if you're serious enough to buy such a book you will probably already know most of it).
My only real quibble would be that it isn't really that substantial, and after half an hour you feel like another one. :)

I liked how they had the intro from Michael Garibaldi. I was laughing myself silly at his one liners throughout the book. Mainly I liked the focus on the things you don't get to see up close(eg the bathrooms) The crimes section is great too. The transcripts of the different cases in the show was good too. This would be a good book to have in conjunction with the A-Z guide and Andy Lane's books.
