I was reading a news article about Joss Whedon and they had a reference to this book. It is the first I have heard of it. It comes out August 19th. Does anybody else have any info on it?

First I heard of it. Good looking out!

Here's what I found on the net:

The first definitive guide to both the remarkable Space Western "Firefly" and its major film spin-off "Serenity," this book offers an in-depth and comprehensive look at the TV phenomenon kept alive by the fans.
The brain child of Joss Whedon--of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fame--"Firefly" ran for twelve hour-long episodes before being cancelled by the network. But this premature burial had a remarkable outcome: resurrection. The fans--self-named Browncoats--kept multiplying, the DVDs kept selling and the show forged a new life on the internet, sustained by blogs, fan-fics and podcasts. Films, meetings and conferences ensured their numbers increased, as did the release of the major "Firefly "motion picture "Serenity,"

From detailed chapters on scenes and themes, through to explorations of the characters, actors, music, and, of course, the fans, "Investigating Firefly and Serenity" tells readers everything they need to know about the show and more. With contributions from over twenty of the best international Whedon scholars, TV & film critics, and writers, it will become the must-have book for followers of the series/film, for fans of Joss Whedon and his work, and anyone with an interest in the modern phenomenon of cult TV and the remarkable power of the internet.

If I'm not mistakened, it was also promoted in one of the comic book series as well.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Good find Redlava!

Looks like an interesting book and I will be getting a copy for my ever growing Firefly/Serenity collection.

That was my thinking as well. If we can't get another movie then new books and graphic novels will have to do.
