Disclaimer: Not sure why I feel the need to say this, but in case you're wondering, I bought this the day before the recent news about Joss Whedon was released. Here's how I feel about the news:
1. Joss Whedon sounds like a jerk; good for the female cast members that are speaking out about it.
2. I still and always will love Buffy.
There. Now, onto the book. This really needed more editing. Not only are there typos, but are factual errors (it says Andrew was a "fellow Scooby and vampire" - he was neither). It is repetitive in places and not detailed enough in others. The sentences are awkward.
The art is inconsistent - sometimes pretty good, sometimes not-so-good, and the artist kept drawing Buffy's nose differently in every picture.
As an homage to Buffy, this is fine but underwhelming. As a self-help-type book, even a humorous one, it fails. The advice is pretty shallow; if you want to gain some Buffy wisdom you'd be better off re-watching the show.
