A Must for AW fans

Anyone who watched this soap will enjoy this book. Since this soap was taken from us on the 35th anniversary, this book has even more meaning. You will get to relive the highlights and story lines now missing from our daily lives. I get mine out about every 6 months - or whenever I need a Bay City fix. Looking through the book always manages to bring tears or laughter to me.

A Welcome Gift, A Prized Possession

For the first 10 years of watching AW, I was a loyal, but hardly passionate fan. The last 5 years, leading up to the cancellation, I developed a passionate attachment. This book has made dealing with the loss of this 15 year old friend so much easier. I treasure this book in so many ways. If you are or were a fan, this really is a must have. No doubt.

An Amazing Retrosective of Another World

This is a must-have for any Another World fan given that the show's last episode aired about a month ago. It contains plot synopses of the show from its inception until 1998 (Beginning of Lumina Storyline). I hope another book is written to celebrate the entire history of AW - from 1964 to 1999. I can't find fault in this book. It is truly amazing. We'll miss Another World. Bay City and all of the Bay Cityites will remain in our hearts and minds forever.

A Fine Tribute

Although not intended as an eulogy, this work serves admirably in that light. Buy it to remember the series whose cancellation--when the definitive history of daytime television is written--will be remembered as the death knell of the American soap opera.

I can't wait to pick up this book. AW is the best soap on tv

I have been watching ANOTHER WORLD for over 10 years. I started watching when Anne Heche played Vicky/Marley. When she left I watched sporatically but in the last 2 years I have become hooked again. When I heard that NBC had cancelled it I was devastated. AW is such a wonderful show with incredible actors and great storylines. The fact that NBC would cancel AW when there was another soap on NBC with lower ratings makes me furious. Don't the fans count? Don't ratings count? I will never ever watch NBC again and I hope all AW fans do the same. There are several programs on NBC that I used to watch but they may as well cancel them too because I can not look at the NBC logo without feeling angry and betrayed. Good-bye NBC. FANS OF ANOTHER WORLD PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP. HOPEFULLY ANOTHER NETWORK WILL DECIDE TO AIR ANOTHER WORLD. WRITE CBS OR ABC. LET'S SAVE AW. IT'S THE BEST SHOW ON TV AND IT DESERVES 35 MORE YEARS ON TELEVISION
