The LOST Encyclopedia is the perfect way to extend the TV show obsession long after the show has actually ended. Amazon lists the encyclopedia has having "more than 400 pages and over 1500 images" of LOST paraphernalia including a "guide to the characters, items, locations, plotlines, relationships and mythologies from all six seasons."
I don't know about you, but I think this is a great idea to keep capitalizing on the huge fan base that has grown around the show. Especially with the recent series finale, LOST fans are probably more desperate for a LOST Encyclopedia than ever before!
