                    This insider's guide to Alias is essential reading 
                    not only for committed fans but also for latecomers coming 
                    to the show on DVD who are interested in catching up with 
                    the characters, storylines and background. The book also includes 
                    exclusive bonus material such as a colour-coded global 'mission 
                    map.' Compelling and comprehensive, this fully-illustrated 
                    large-format companion volume is the next best thing to being 
                    a field agent yourself... 
                  I'm 
                    always wary of approaching guide books. More often than not 
                    they are rather dry affairs with little in the way of new 
                    information (or facts that you couldn't easily pick up from 
                    the Internet for free). 
                  Alias: 
                    Authorized Personnel Only doesn't offer that much in the 
                    way of surprises. However, what is refreshing is the fact 
                    that this collection is in full colour - a very rare, but 
                    welcomed, occurrence for this style of book. Although, some 
                    larger images would have been nice. 
                  The 
                    book is divided into five main sections: a mission-by-mission 
                    analysis of the series; a catalogue of the agents' personal 
                    histories and psychological profiles; Jack Bristow's own extensive 
                    coverage of the Enemies of the State; descriptions of the 
                    high-tech gadgets used by Sydney and her team; and Project 
                    Black Hole's official report on the shadowy figure Milo Rambaldi. 
                  There 
                    is also an interesting Travel Log section at the back of the 
                    book that shows (on large double page global maps) where Sydney 
                    has travelled each season. 
                  Alias 
                    fans will find this both informative and entertaining. It's
