New Edition of the Anime Encyclopedia

My inbox yesterday included an announcement that in March there will be a new edition of Jonathan Clements’ and Helen McCarthy’s Anime Encyclopedia, a fabulous work of reference. The announcement includes the usual blurb about thousands of new entries (apparently over a million new words), but what caught my eye was this:

Fully cross-referenced (with live hyperlinks in the e-book edition)

That sounds like it must have been a huge amount of work, but also something that will be very valuable.
