Don’t take my word for it – here’s what people who have used the SDCC Survival Guide have to say:
I go to conventions all the time… In fact, I ended up highlighting most of it from cover to cover. I highly recommend this book for everyone from the first time con attendee to even the most devout convention goer.

Your advice about getting seats in the Halls was spot on. Your guide provided some fantastic advice to 5 comic con virgins from the UK…

After scouring the internet for any information available, the thing that helped me the most in feeling prepared was the SDCC Survival Guide. The helpful hints inside were like gold –I carried it around every day of the con in case I needed a refresher, and it will be with me again…

[The SDCC Survival Guide] is a great help in planning what kind of items are important to have with you. It made our 1st time Comic-Con experience more organized and therefore more enjoyable! I would highly recommend it for anyone but especially people who are going for their 1st time!
