I think the current speed of Internet connections obsoletes large companion books like were done for Anne Rice's series. But smaller references that one can carry around with the original book should survive at least as long as paper books do.

Wolfe could benefit from such a reference and you'd be a good person to create it.

I dunno. There are actually people way more into Wolfe annotation than I am.

I also think that a good solution might be to copy the Wolfe Wiki (which I didn't discover till after I'd posted my observations above) to a portable device (Palm, iPhone, etc).
