The ZIV-TV series from 1955-57 will be treated to a full-length book next year. The book has been under developement for the past two years and it will include
a complete production history of the series, all 78 episodes, including exact dates of when each episode was filmed, total cost of production per episode, cast
list and production credits (much more than what is listed on the on-screen closing credits), trivia, and much more. It's in a final draft now and will go
to press early 2008 after formatting and indexing. We're presently looking for photographs from the various episodes. United Artists, the present owner
(I'm not going to get technical on the number of studios involved, I'll leave it to UA for brief), has over 2,000 photographs in their collection of
the costs involved for reproducting any of the photos is way too expensive. If anyone has photographs that can be reproduced for the book, and would like to
receive photo credit in the book, please contact Michelle at shelbyvinje (at) aol.com for info such address to mail the photos. She's willing to accept a
high resolution jpeg format by e-mail, or, if you mail the original photo, she'll scan it for the file and mail it back to you pronto. Many thanks.
(P.S.) If you post a reply instead of directly to Michelle, it may not get read. I don't have much time to get on this board and read postings often. So don't post a reply saying "I have a photo you can use." Just e-mail Michelle.
