DETAILS ABOUT THE SIGNATUREA special type of paper was bound into the front of the book for the signature. Specifically the paper is a 68# heavy-weight (but still pliable), ebony paper stock that is hard to tear or crease.Straczynski signed each book with a metallic silver Sharpie pen to contrast the black, and to match the silver on black cover design. Using a metallic Sharpie will also prevent the signature from flaking or cracking, preserving it indefinitely. Sharpie metallic ink pens are more like a quality "paint" and literally has to dry after signing.LIST OF SOURCESEpisodes & Movies• Babylon 5 Pilot The Gathering Original Version• Babylon 5 Pilot The Gathering TNT Version• All 110 episodes of Babylon 5• All 13 episodes of Crusade• Thirdspace TV Movie• In the Beginning TV Movie• The River of Souls TV Movie• A Call to Arms TV Movie• The Legend of the Rangers Pilot• The Lost Tales

DO ALL 5,000 ENTRIES HAVE AN IMAGE?No, but only because not every entry has a visual representation. For example, a character only mentioned in dialogue or who appeared only in a novel or short story – such as G'Kar's daughter G'Ryka – does not have an image but does have an entry.
That said, most entries in the categories of aliens species, characters, locales, organizations, ships or technology have a visual representation. There are 1,474 images in the full-color print edition. The multimedia online edition has more than 2,000 images in addition to 1,000+ videos. All have a time stamp or reference showing the exact source of the entry.
These photos and video are in addition to the images of the ships and planet we had re-rendered in 1080p, high definition from the original files. Fans have never seen B5 like this before.
