NewWorlds in the Cosmos: the discovery of Exoplanets
Michel Mayor and PierreYves Frei (2003)

The New Worlds: extrasolar planets

are there any books that have a "field guide" feel to them where each exoplanetary system has their own page? gosh i'd love that, even if it would be out of date the day it was published.

Lazarus has hinted at wanting to start a project like that on the internet (And if you're still up to that, Lazarus, I'd be more than willing to help).
