A wide range of information on, quite literally, EVERY anime up until 2006. Feature Lengths, series, OVA's, specials, shorts ect... even the ones you don't really want to know about. My only qualm is that it's now quite a few years out of date. It's taken a while, but I think another revised edition was released just this year.
Lots of stuff I didn't know about
