Laid out like a concise encyclopedia, this has very detailed entries for all the major & most of the minor players & events in the entire Amber universe. I'm not positive of the accuracy of all of it. Unfortunately, some of the stuff I've read says it isn't without problems. Apparently there isn't ANY correspondence in Zelazny's papers about this, either. That's not to say Zelazny didn't deal with Krulik on this for certain, but Zelazny had copies of most correspondence & this supposedly took a lot, yet there is none.

It is interesting, but I'll look at it more completely on a re-read of the chronicles at some point. As it was, I flipped through it & read up on random points & characters. It is a fun companion book. ( )

I had to get it since I love Amber so much but it doesn't really add any value to the main series. you are much better off not reading this book and instead spending your time reading (or rereading the series) ( )
