Customer Reviews

Excellent book but curious omission.

This is an excellent book on the long running series. The only thing I found curious was no mention at all of veteran actor Ray Teal who played Sheriff Coffee in 95 episodes. He is not even listed in the back of the book where all guest actors are denoted. It would have been nice to see him acknowledged at least.

Best Bonanza book for Bonanza fans!!

If you are a true Bonanza fan, this book is the perfect supplement to the tv show. It has all the episodes and guests which helps if you really are a Bonanza fan and collect the episodes. There is also a brief bio on each cast-star which is great (which they were longer, though).

A wonderful book

The book had wonderful biographies for all the actors and the most coplete eposide guide I have ever found.

Better than I expected

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.
