In it, Jon Heitland details the origins, success and eventual cancellation of this popular TV series. Through numerous interviews with the cast, crew and writers, the reader gets a genuine feel for what the show was intended to be, what it took to get it on the air and make it successful, and its affect on television in the mid-1960's. But it still reflects the enthusiasm of the series' creators and fans. Both are fascinating reading. Both deserve a spot on the shelf of anybody interested in 1960's television.
Few books are perfect.
This one suffers from name-itis.
