By Chiara Poli, Scriptwriter :

She cooperates with several magazine as TV and Cinema critic. She also holds lectures and seminars at various levels on TV and Cinema. She has worked for Mediaset as author of sit-coms.

At the end of the book a chapter explains why Fox did not allow a single image from the TV show to be used in this book (cover included) even after Fox Italy and Mediaset (the company that transmits Buffy in Italy) tried to intercede. Fox of Los Angeles (who has the final word) has a rule about not permitting the use of images under their control on paper works unless the work in question does appear on periodicals (a book does not fall under such denomination, apparently, the fact that it belongs to a line notwithstanding). A real pity. Fox might have derived some advantage, albeit small perhaps, but worthy all the same, from a book full of praise for Buffy enriched by a more alluring cover.
