teddogI think that Fullmetal Alchemist Profiles, AKA the English translation of the first Perfect Guidebook, needs to be forced down the throats of anyone who wants to touch FMA fan fic with a ten foot pole. Heck, I refuse to write for that fandom and this book is giving me too many ideas.
The book has fairly detailed discussions on the technology and culture of at least the manga end. Oh, and maps, because maps rock. On top of this, it's all written rather cutely. Hughes explains the country's political structures, Winry covers the cultural end. If you've read everything, you've got it covered mostly, although there's sections that deal with the creator that are rather wacky.
With all the effort gone into building a world for the series, it rather annoying that fandom trashes the background completely. There is no buttsex section. Get over it.
