Reddit reviews Serenity Official Visual Companion

Obviously the film on Blu-ray is the most important missing element. But as you may know, "A Celebration" contains the "Firefly Official Companion Vol. 1 and 2" and "Still Flying" in a single hardcover volume. It's awesome.

You should however also pick up the "Serenity Official Visual Companion", as that content is not contained in "A Celebration". Those are my favorite Firefly possessions.

That's fair enough :-) I'm certainly not in the business of trying to tell people what to like or dislike.

To dig a little deeper: have you read many scripts or fanfic scripts? The argument from our side would be that they are an entertainment medium in their own right, hence why people buy books like the Serenity visual companion, the bulk of which is the script for the movie. A script, just like a novel, paints a picture. It just does so in fewer words. Certainly, most of the fanfic scripts I've read don't have camera directions or things like that. It's just a more sparse, punchy version of prose. Is it the camera directions that stop you being immersed? The formatting? Or just the general lack of description in the prose?
