"Television" - (Companion to the PBS Television Series) - by Michael Winship - Introduction by Edwin Newman - Hardcover w/DJ (Oversized 9" x 10-1/4") - Published in 1988 by Random House - 371 pages (with numerous great black & white photos) – both book and DJ are very good condition. This outstanding book is the history of television up to 1988. Michael Winship, the producer of the PBS series "Television," wrote this companion to this excellent series. It covers every aspect of television from its beginning through the future as well as every type of show and comments from their creators. This book is illustrated with 250 photographs, many never published before, and looks at the television industry - its history, success stories, comic disasters, problems, and trends - and takes a glimpse at its future, through more than 50 interviews with the men and women who were and are intimately involved in its creation and development. The chapters are as follows: The Beginning, The Golden Age, Sitcoms, Dramas, Docudramas and Miniseries, Talk Shows and Game shows, Variety, The News, Sports, Behind the Scenes, The Business, and The Future. This is an excellent and informative book that you won't put down until you've seen every page! There is some edge wear on the DJ (see the scan), but this book is still in very good condition. No collection of books on television history is complete without this one.
