Having received this item the other day and spending a large portion of today reading and gazing at the pictures, this is easily among the best resource books I have ever read.

The content is professionally put together, the style of the book and its visual layout is eye catching and fresh, and the information is actually interesting. Having the profiles written from other characters point of view is a nice change from the static and cold mtme profile books.

The first almanac was good, this one is better.

Also plenty of inside jokes, references and nods to other series (lots of IDW and Car Robots).

And did I mention consistency and editing? The IDW folks really need to use these two books as a reference point in the future for keeping their own stuff inline.
