A must for all fans of the series. Who was the big practical joker on the set? Why were the laser pistols replaced by rifles after the first season? Whatever happened to the Bloop? The answers to all those and more. Of course it's five stars! It was written by Angela Cartwright and Bill Mumy, two of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.

As a fan of the show, I thought it was a delightful read! Each page has one or more pictures, almost all of the "behind the scenes" variety, with an explanation and/or story to go with it from Bill or Angela. It's a wonderful look into both the show and into the lives of two of the actors and they share their thoughts and feelings as well as their memories.

My favorite show from my childhood written about with great love by two of the stars - what's not to like about their memories and photos from the series. Loved every word and still harbor one of my secret wishes to meet Will and Penny some day!

The cover says 'A memoir in photographs'. That's exactly what it is. Light on prose. Abundant with rare photos. And full of memories from the two youngest members of the 'Lost in Space' cast. More than likely, only fans will enjoy this. That's exactly who they wrote it for.

If you wax nostalgic over this incredibly silly but magically captivating show that so many of us grew up with, this is the book for you. Full of personal insights, anecdotes, and never-before-seen photos from Angela & Bill!

What really makes this work is that 99% of the text is in either Bill or Angela's voice. Really makes it like they're speaking to you personally. Great photos, also.

Just a great book of stories and photos for fans of the show.

I loved this show as a kid. My parents had a strict rule: No TV during dinner (which was a good rule). The only exception? Lost in Space. My brothers and I must have badgered them to let us do this. I was almost 10 when the show premiered. My two favorite characters were Will and Penny. They were close to me in age. I wanted to BE Will Robinson, and I would have loved a sister like Penny. (I have no sisters.)

Angela Cartwright and Bill Mumy (who played Penny and Will) created this book about their time on the show. It contains MANY great pictures and stories to go along with them. It was originally released as a hardback in 2015, but it was more than I wanted to pay. It is available now as a trade paperback for $30 and is well worth it. Highly enjoyable and recommended.

This was a quick read, because it is a memoir done with photographs. I was a preschooler when the Lost and Space series began, a little girl with a big imagination. This show was just the right one to start a kid off on a love of science fiction. Reading this was a stroll down memory lane. If you grew up in the 1960s and watched this show, you will love this book.
