This review is from: "This Is Jim Rockford...": The Rockford Files (Paperback)
I'm a huge rockford files fan and james garner fan. I thought I should pick up this book and find any new facts about the show I didn't know. The book tells the detail of each ep and little nuggets of info which was worth picking up this book in the first place.
