So it finally arrived today: Book of Shadows Limited Edition. Containing all seasons of Charmed and then the bonus disk containing also the unaired pilot. Just a few things makes me sad about it: It does not contain the spell that made them The Charmed Ones and then that they just have used the previously released DVDs instead of coming up with new disks that could have cool animated menus and another printing on the disks them selves. But lets take a tour threw the book shall we ? Hang on, the tour is 29 images long. Size matters: Comparing the size of the standard DVD release and the BoS The book itself. The introduction. The Handfasting The Bunyip The Halliwell Matriarchs and info to Season 1 More info to Season 1 and the disks them selves The Banshee and how to track her The Lazarus Demon and info to Season 2 More Season 2 info and the disks them selves Exorcism and The Dark Knight Gremlins and Season 3 info More Season 3 info and the disks them selves The Firestarter and the spell to hear some ones thoughts The Brute Demon and Season 4 info More Season 4 info and the disks them selves The tools of The Alchemist Info about The Alchemists and info about Season 5 More Season 5 info and the disks them selves The Demonic Bounty Hunter and The Crone How to call a lost witch and Season 6 info More Season 6 info and the disks them selves Belthazor and the spell to use if you want to summon him How to vanquish Belthazor and Season 7 info More season 7 info and the disks them selves Kurzon and Kodzoman The legacy about Brianna and Season 8 info More Season 8 info and the disks them selves The Bonus Disk with more extras and the unaired pilot This concludes the pictorial essay of the limited edition of the BoS DVD release. Weight: 3.8Kg (8.37 pounds) Hight: 39cm (15.35 inch) Wide: 31cm (12.20 inch) Depth: 5.3cm (2.086 inch)

Ya I was sad to see that spell not included.
And they rarely if never put brand new disc with new disc art and menues on complete series. Thats just to much money to waste on something that is already finished.

Even though that spell wasn't included, it's really cool. I wish I could get that, but I doubt my mother would let me buy something that I more or less already have (the DVDs). What's the legacy thing about Brianna? That wasn't ever an episode, was it?

Prue actually inherited Brianna's power of telekinesis.

I could have sworn that the Lazarus Demon appeared in the Season 4 episode, "Marry-Go-Round".

Yup, the book is not parted into seasons when it comes to info about the demons or spells, only the DVDs are parted into seasons.

That book is so cool. I want that really bad, and since I have not got any Charmed DVD's yet (I just was the re-runs when they come on) it may be worth spending that much money on.
Thanks for posting the inside pictures.

Thanks for posting the inside pictures. You are welcome, but i suggest shopping at DVD Pacific when the time comes, you save 41% (over 100 dollars) when buying it there. But don't take to long, it has only been produced in a limited number, so when the stock runs out at Paramount, no more will be produced. I even wonder if it get created with disks for other regions other than Region-1. No European release (region-2) of it has been announced. But i guess that if it got released in Europe, you would not get it for around 200 dollars (156 Euros). Judging on what DVDs normally costs in the European countries, the price will be at least 3 times larger for the BoS Limited Edition.

So it costs $200? *shudder* No, thanks. As someone said, if you didn't have all the DVD sets and wanted all of them, then it would be a great idea, especially if you got it for a discount or a gift, but otherwise? Man, is that steep! Unless you plan on selling it on eBay someday...

Unless you plan on selling it on eBay someday... Others take over 300 dollars for it, that i also have seen online. But when you are sitting with the genuine book in your hands, flipping threw the book and looks closely at each page, you realize why it is so expensive, since it is a very beautifully created book. But i do doubt though that is will show up on eBay some day, since it is a very special collectors item for hardcore fans, who are willing to pay for it. I already had the entire 8 seasons of Charmed on DVD (the first image reveals my season 1 box), but since i love Charmed so much as i do, i was willing to begin saving for it back when it got announced. I just put asside a little money from my paycheck each month, 20 dollars or so and said no thanks to something like fastfood and lots of DVD rentals. It even got me money to order more DVDs, inclouding Shannen's newly released christmas movie Christmas Caper, that will arrive by mail in a couple of days

Just info about the store DVD Pacific: They don't have the Limited Edion on stock any more and it looks like they won't get any more, since it has been removed from their site. No wonder they ran out, when it was over 100 dollars cheaper at their place. I have removed the shopping link from the Links section of the board due to this.

The extras are ok, not fantastic but much better than what they only released in the season 8 box, but of cause one can always find something that could had been done better. I will actually call it a bit of a shame that they used a DVD9 size disk and then not used it to its full potential, since there would had been atleast 90 min more place for extras. If they could dig up the extras they did for the disk, i bet there are tons of more hidding at Paramount.
