The book is actually fantasticThough I didn't fully "read" this book. I skimmed it to see how complete it was as a reference to the Dark Tower universe. This universe includes many books that Stephen Kink has written like The Stand.The Dark Tower universe is quite vast and a book like The Complete Concordance is a great companion while reading the series.
The Dark Tower is a long and complex story, and even as I was reading it I was aware that I was missing references; for example, I've never read The Stand, and haven't read Desperation for nearly twenty years. This guide is invaluable not only for these references, but also to clarify links between the different books, explain things you may have missed the first time around and some interesting essays on different themes. A really interesting piece of work.

However, it's actually a plot point that the territories are smaller and not everyone has a twinner. --The Talisman, pg. 52 paperback: "'There's people in this world have got Twinners in the Territories,' Speedy said. 'Not many, because there's a lot less people over there -- maybe only one for every hundred thousand over here. But Twinners
Good Gan this book is indispensable. Robin Furth actually makes the Dark Tower series a hundred times richer and more fascinating, and lays the track for complete rereads or quick dip-in/dip-out Tower sessions. Constantly flipping through this one as a Constant Reader.
a nice companion to the seriesyou dont have to have itbut it s a nice addition to the collection
5 overall for what it is. Excellent resource for anyone embarking on the Dark Tower series. There is a tremendous wealth of characters, relations between those characters, locations, times and alternate times of those locations, years and events, and so much more in the series. This can be an invaluable tool to help keep up with it all, especially if one is spacing the books out over an extended period of time. Also contains a few excellent essays on the books, and a great introduction from King
