10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Well worth the purchase price -- useful and entertaining.By Matthew H. StevensonHughes book is an indispensable addition to the bookshelf of the recent Lynch initiate; casual fan; or long-time follower of Lynchs career and work. Even trivia magnets will find numerous new and fascinating facts and anecdotes.This is the rare book that can be used either as a career overview; reference work; or just a worthwhile; enjoyable read. The book is divided into sections; one for each work up to and including Mulholland Drive [not only film and TV works] and each is subdivided into categories such as trivia; cut scenes; availability; Lynch Mob (reappearances of members of Lynchs stable of frequent collaborators); or Lynchs own comments on each work. The index is very thorough as well; so the book can be enjoyed non-chronologically in bite-size pieces if desired.Hughes has gone to the horses mouth for many of the relevant facts and observances; having interviewed Lynch himself and many who work with him. The book is well-stocked with information; opinion and analysis without coming across as dry or pedantic. Im very glad I picked it up.Not nebulous and overly general like some works about Lynch; or a collection of the opinions of one writer like some others; Hughes book should be purchased and read by anyone with an interest in the work of David Lynch;or in the wide-ranging; well-rounded and fascinating man himself.3 thumbs up. Buy and keep near TV.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The Complete Book For The Complete Lynch FanBy A CustomerLet me start off by saying that this review may be a little prejudiced. I helped David Hughes collect some of the movies and info for the book; and became buddies with him in the process. However; all that aside this is a great book. Rather than being culled from "found" interviews and information; slopped together with a little psychoanalysis and fanfare; David has based his book on three things 1) an obsessive love of all things Lynchian; 2) an obsessive **knowledge** of all things Lynchian; and 3) a personal meeting with Mr. Lynch himself; which allowed this book to have interviews; quotes; opinions; etc. from the man himself that no other source in the world has. In addition to being the ultimate book for the ultimate Lynch fan; this book has everything you could want in a comprehensive "guide" to Lynch for those wanting to immerse themselves in the Lynch universe for the first time. Full color photos; a VERY detailed episode by episode guide to Twin Peaks; information on his newest projects (Mulholland Drive; his internet ventures); as well as those that never made it (One Saliva Bubble; Rocket Ronnie; etc.). To sum it up; I believe anybody interested in Lynch should buy this book. It is intelligently written; thoroughly researched; and a joy to read. Lastly; I believe this book can pass the one test no other book about Lynch has been able to (to my knowledge): I defy you to find a factual mistake in this book. While I wont discuss it here; believe me that others are rife with them and this is a topic often discussed on my email discussion group. As a matter of fact; if any one is interested in learning more about David Lynch; discussing him and his works; and; as an extra bonus; getting to meet the author of this book; David Hughes (he is a frequent poster to the list) go to the yahoo groups website; sign in; and go to Lynchians! Enjoy the book!5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. lots of facts; little analysisBy MKif youre looking for a more in-depth analysis; you might want to look elsewhere; but for straightforward facts about Lynch films; this is a great guide. it systematically goes through a series of catagories (cast/crew; production history; cut scenes; etc. ; also some weirder catagories like "deja vu;" "apocrypha;"- all of these lend to a greater understanding of the material in lynchs films) this ultimately ended up being the most helpful book on lynch I read; if only because it made finding actual facts about each subject really easy
