Has anyone read Rod Serling and the Twilight Zone: The Official 50th Anniversary Tribute by Douglas Brode? If so, how does it compare to the other volumes on the man and the series?

I bought the new Martin Grams book on the Twilight Zone a couple of weeks ago, and I've been picking my way through it ever since. I'm very impressed by all the detail, but I keep feeling I'd like it even more if Grams had made at least some ...

I bought the new Twilight Zone book based on some of the material that I read on this thread & I have to say that it's excellent. Well worth the money. An astonishing amount of research was done for this book & it shows.

Well, I ordered the TWILIGHT ZONE book and should have it in a couple of weeks. Thanks, again, to the CHFB's own National Treasure, Mr. Tom Weaver, for making me aware of the book in the first place!

The TWILIGHT ZONE book is astonishingly cheap. Less than fifty bucks for approximately EIGHT HUNDRED PAGES? In TODAY'S economy? Unbelievable!

There are two books on the Alfred Hitchcock series. The first came out in 1985 and is called ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS An Illustrated Guide to the Ten-Year Television Career of the Master of Suspense. You can get used copies at Amazon & maybe EBay. T...

Did anyone ever scribe an anthology tome on the Alfred Hitchcock Presents (and Hour) series? THAT would be an interesting read.

Tom, you're absolutely right re the NIGHT GALLERY book. It's one of the best tomes ever on an individual series, ranking with THE COLUMBO FILE. I now get Retro Network Television (a network based in Little Rock, AR) which shows NIGHT GALLERY (prec...

I may get this in the coming months. I've been reading Zicree's book as I watch the series and other than a few episodes and some segments on people involved with the series, a great many episode entries are very scanty indeed. Some consist of rep...

I remember opinions throughout the Zicree book -- not for every episode, but my memory is that he hyped the classics a little, and panned the stinkers. I'm ready to stand corrected, as always! You're more likely to be correct than me, Tom....

Zicree's book is good. However, there are a large number of factual errors. People may enjoy reading commentary, but even books with commentary like Zicree's do have statistics and information for reference purposes. The book has been around for 2...

He doesn't review the episodes but instead provides the interesting background info that all the existing paperwork provides. Marc Scott Zicree's book didn't "review" the episodes either, which kind-of irked me, as what I perso...
