Robert:

Good question. I see Marc beat me to the punch but since I already started
this note...

According to the Fanderson Web site, this is what is included in the first
UFO Script Book:

"The book includes 12 pages of colour photos featuring production stills,
behind the scenes pictures and deleted scenes. Introduced by Chris Bentley who
highlights the differences between the scripts and the finished episodes and
the reasons for the changes.

204 page oversize format (128 x 197mm) perfect-bound paperback. Published by
Century 21 Books."

The above is one of the reasons that I would have liked to see a few select
pages of this book on Fanderson's Web site.

I think that script books are for the "completist fan" -- the fan who wants as
much information as possible about his favorite series. They are not for
everyone and certainly are not material that you cuddle up with in bed on a
regular basis. They're reference material and should be treated as such.
They're probably best produced similar to the UFO script book -- with extras
such as pictures and if possible authoritative commentary on the differences
between the script and produced episode and the reason for the changes (not
sure if the UFO book contained such editorial material).

I know I'd like to see a script book for Space:1999. :)

> To interest me, a script would have to have more then just the Script
itself. Are these illustrated in any way, or have other interesting tidbits? I
have bought all of the Star Wars script books because they have extras like
behind the sence photos, conceptual art, and things like that.
