[Diane ~Firefly~ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Gave some good information. I thought The Dukes of Hazzard: The Unofficial Companion had more interesting and complete information. Although this book does give a pretty complete listing of all guest characters and how they relate to others and the author is a clear fan and her insights are fun.
