The title of the book is rather self-explanatory, if one is a Buffy fan ;). The only other Buffy tie-in I’ve read is Tales of the Slayers, the graphic novel.

Yeah, this whole thing has made me determined to be much better about paper "backups" for any information I need that I'd normally pull off LJ. (Fortunately, I do that already for addresses/contact info...)
Sorry to use your LJ as a discussion-forum, oyceter! I am feeling very, hmm, discombobulated right now. Miss...socializing...! Must report on Buffy 5.6-5.7 and Angel 5.7-5.8! etc. I am such a junkie. ^_^

LOL, for some reason when you wrote "Tomoe" I thought of the character in Kenshin. But she's Meiji, so... silly me.
Btw, I found a really cool back up LJ thing...LJ Archive. It basically synchs with the server when you use it (and gets all the comments as well!), and then it saves everything and you can browse through all your entries in there.
