What kind of book is it?
Capstone’s Google Books listing identifies the book as a 121-page reference title, written by Steven Korté and illustrated by Art Baltazar. Its description says it covers the profiles, stats, and histories of DC Super-Pets and their owners, and advertises “more than 200 DC characters.” That count is the book description’s claim, not an independently verified tally.

What does the encyclopedia include?
A 2014 review describes the book as divided into heroes and villains sections. Its short profile boxes include details such as species, birthplace, fun facts, allies, and foes. The reviewer also notes size charts, an index, and a “Bat Computer” feature reporting secret histories. No Flying No Tights review, January 31, 2014.
#1 Best Overall
Krypto and Ace are among the examples named in the book description. The review also points to less familiar entries: Stinky, a tabby cat associated with Power Girl; Jumpa, Wonder Woman’s kangaroo; Ignatius, Lex Luthor’s iguana; and Crackers and Giggles, the Joker and Harley Quinn’s hyenas. Together, these examples show the book’s interest in animal companions from both sides of the hero-villain divide.
Which book is this, and how can you identify it?

The ISBN is also listed without the leading 978 prefix as 1404882979 by the Illinois Center for the Book. A fan-maintained DC reference entry gives Picture Window Books as publisher and corroborates the year and ISBN; it is secondary confirmation rather than the strongest bibliographic source. DC Database entry.
Is it a current guide to DC continuity?
No: it is a reference work published in 2013. Its profiles and histories should be read as an illustrated snapshot of the characters and material covered at that time, not as an exhaustive guide to later DC continuity.
