My copy just arrived. If you're a fan of the wondrous, original 1960s TV series, this book will knock your socks off. Written by David J. Schow, with a great introduction by Ted Rypel, this exquisite book celebrates the history of this ground-breaking television series. It's filled with glorious photos, including many behind-the-scenes shots, as well as pre-production stills, and all the merchandise tie-ins -- plus a splendid history of the show and an excellent episode guide. The production and presentation of this book are fantastic!

An addendum for the 50th anniversary of the show - since it may be a little ways down the road before Schow will be able to get that THIRD printing of THE OUTER LIMITS COMPANION out. If you can't get your hands on an edition of that, this makes a nice introduction/appetizer, with photos that haven't been before, and some that were printed in the Companion, but can now be seen in color. If you're a fan of the show, you MUST have this.

This book presents over 150 new pages of rare photographs of cast, crew, collectibles and beloved monsters! The book received the 2015 Rondo Award for Book of the Year. A great book for collectors and lovers of this wonderful series.

Expertly curated and beautifully crafted, the perfect complement to Schow's companion.

I did find the Foreword by Ted. C. Rypel to be over-written.
