I got the book/DVD for Christmas too, and since I was snowed in, I read the entire book on Christmas Day! Now I'm kind of mad at myself because I already finished it, but oh well. I was impressed with the quality; it's all on glossy paper, and all the pictures are in color.
I also got a new DVD player with a complete surround sound system, and the Alias DVD was the first thing I played in it. My dad got it hooked up and told me to try it out, and the first thing I heard was the Alias theme song blasting out with incredible bass, and I was just like EEEeeeee!!! I was so happy.
But I was pretty happy with the DVD, considering it came free with the book. It has a theatrical-length trailer for the show (which sounds so awesome with surround sound, just like a theater!) an interview with Jennifer where she says some really funny things, and interviews with all the other cast members, plus some profiles of the characters and actors. It's enough to tide me over till the real DVDs come out, but I wish they would hurry!!
