3.0 out of 5 stars Mainly an episode guide, May 18, 1998

Bob Summers (Norman, OK United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bonanza: The Definitive Ponderosa Companion (Paperback)

Like so many books about old TV shows that come out today, this one features some extensive bios on the actors (though all the info seems to come from one LOOK magazine article) and a very extensive episode guide.

This isn't the book if you want in-depth chronicles of the production, but if you want to know about the actors, or maybe just locate info on the rerun you just saw, this is it.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bonanza: The Definitive Ponderosa Companion (Paperback)

Useful. However, there were several synopsis errors, which you won't notice unless you actually saw the specific episode.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected, August 11, 2001

John B. Newman (Tustin, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bonanza: The Definitive Ponderosa Companion (Paperback)

Just received the book yesterday, but read enough of it to know it is better than I expected. The biographies are great and the episode guide is too. The color pictures are worth the price alone.
