Considering how thorough the official guide book to “Angel” is, it’s easy to pass up on buying any other guides for fear of repetition. Instead of recreating the wheel, Keith Topping follows the format for his “Buffy” guide books and spends time on all the details. There’s a lot on Charisma Carpenter (an entire category devoted to her, in fact), all sorts of pop cultures tidbits (LA to British), comments by cast and crew, and plenty of reflections on how the characters handle the situations they find themselves in. A helpful touch is the summaries of “Buffy” episodes where Angel has a crossover.
