The title is exactly what it says on the book, but you have to remember that the book was published in 1998 so expect that dated look. I have not read it page to page but anything I would want to know seems to be in the book and much more, it indexes literally everything that had anything to do with the story from bugs to battle ships, good guys bad guys, races and non-races, who's who and even who knew who. To sum it up, all i can say is it must have everything in it even some pictures which makes you think "yeah I remember that bit"
