“What a wonderful book. Can I get a few more copies?!” — Ted Post (director, four episodes of Twilight Zone)

“I just read the commentaries—haven’t read the teleplays yet – but you’ve written a strong book.”
“Just read the teleplays—excellent! The ‘Templeton’ episode was always one of my favorites.”—William F. Nolan (co-author, Ocean’s Eleven, Logan’s Run)

“I was wondering when someone was going to publish the rest of “The Twilight Zone” scripts…and I hope Andrew or someone will eventually make sure the remaining ones get into print. What Andrew has done here is tremendous. I can’t believe all the venues there are for The Twilight Zone out there these days!” – George Clayton Johnson (writer, eight Twilight Zone teleplays)

“Your devotion to The Twilight Zone will keep it glowing. My compliments to you.” – Marsha Hunt (actress)

“I am just so glad you did this. A totally unexpected surprise. Thank you.” – Del Reisman (Twilight Zone story editor, Seasons 1-3)

“Thankx for the two books Andrew. I haven’t read the scripts yet, just the commentaries. You are a really, really good writer.” – Karyl Geld Miller (writer of numerous old TV episodes including “The Cosby Show”)

“The Twilight Zone was made by writers. Andrew has done us all an enormous service by highlighting these less-touted, and yes, even “forgotten” gems, reminding us of the extraordinary literary quality that The Twilight Zone always had, even when in the hands of its lesser lights.”—Christopher Conlon (writer)

“In fine fashion, this book rounds out the line-up of Twilight Zone script books currently available. Revisit the lost art of television writing and enjoy Forgotten Gems from “The Twilight Zone.”—Tony Albarella (writer)

 Volume 1 (release date 4/30/05) includes Bill Idelson’s “Long Distance Call”, “The Trouble With Templeton” by E. Jack Neuman, Robert Presnell Jr.’s “The Chaser,””Dead Man’s Shoes” by O’Cee Ritch, and John Furia’s “I Dream of Genie.” Includes the scripts for each, plus extensive commentary, and biographical information on the writers.
