The classic revealed (4/5)























Fans of this amazing series can give their eyes a rest from watching the DVDs and try a bit of page-turning instead. It's a large size book with a breakdown of all five season's episodes, interviews with the principal characters and production staff plus a few hundred photos and assorted bits of ephemera from the episodes.

Four stars because I was disappointed with the rather bland look of the book. The photos all have a rather soft look and the page layout isn't very inspiring. This became apparent when the book is compared to that other fabulous HBO series The Sopranos. Their hardback book (ISBN 978-1933821184) had excellent studio portraits of the leads, the usual episode listing and a much more creative page design that made the book worth reading and looking at.
