'People of the Book'

Asalamu alaikum wa rahmahtullahi wa barakatuh.
I've recently been asked by a non-Muslim friend of mine, about Muslims marrying non-Muslims (of course, however, he is baiting to call Islam discriminatory). I told him it's halal for Muslim men to marry 'people of the book', and that Muslim females can only marry Muslim males. Which is fine, but I also added that I think (and stressed don't know).
After a bit of eFatwa poking around while I have found some that do stress the importance of the conditions, most I've found seem to neglect them.

Can anyone clear this up for me?
What are the conditions?
How important are they, and should they be stressed further?

JazakhAllahu kheir.

Wa'Salam.
