The Complete Guide to the Baby-Sitters Club
So I was in a local discount surplus store today and I found a very special book: 'The Complete Guide to the Baby-Sitters Club' for $0.25. This is the place where stuff goes to die (stuff even discount stores can't sell ends up here).
The cover image is fairly straight forward. Kristy, Dawn, Jessi, Mallory, and Abby standing with Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey kneeling for a big group shot. Really, I've got the image more to show people the book actually exists because I'd never heard of it before today. As the cover states, the book covers: the club's history, places in Stoneybrook, biographies of club members (including Logan and Shannon), club clients, the club family members, and so much more (meaning other people in Stoneybrook, events they've planned/done, and places outside of Stoneybrook that they've visited). There's also a confusing map in the back of the book with a guide to various places around the town.
This looks to be a fairly thick book at 347 pages of BSC bible glory. If anyone's interested in my going over parts of it, let me know and tell me which characters/places/sections you'd like to be covered. Posts will be on Mondays if this becomes a thing.
Edit:
Well, someone was awesome enough to find a copy of the map in the back of the book so I've put it up here so that everyone will see. I also added names of some places and characters (BSC members, classmates that have been mentioned on more than one occasion, clients that pop up in a lot of books). Full legend below:
