3.0 out of 5 stars A+ for effort, but Aunt Bee insists on apple pie order, February 7, 2002

By	Kevin Cook "Darlin' Boy" (McDonough, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's impossible not to admire the tremendous effort that went into collecting the mementoes for this book, but someone obviously took the term "scrapbook" too literally. The layout is surprisingly amateurish, with far too many blurry or grainy photos occupying two-page spreads and, at the opposite extreme, pages that are almost empty. The hodgepodge of memorabilia, clippings, magazine covers, movie posters, etc. (not only from TAGS, but also relating to the show's stars at various stages of their careers) is more wearying than diverting. It doesn't help that the entire book is in black and white, that the type is miniscule or that most of the photos are of reject quality.

This "scrapbook" does have one huge thing in its favor: enthralling interviews with stars Andy Griffith, Don Knotts, Ron Howard and many of the supporting players, some of whom are no longer with us. For diehards, the interviews alone might justify the purchase price.

To his credit, Lee Pfeiffer is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his subject, as evidenced in his introduction and interesting episode critiques. It's not his fault that his publisher entrusted a chimpanzee to organize his hard work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andy Griffith Scrapbook review, May 23, 2009

This book collects interviews with the cast and critiques of the episodes into an easy to read format. There are many good pictures along with the personal rememberings of our favorite citizens of Mayberry.
