For the first time, Patrick Macnee tells all! The never-before revealed secrets of the hit TV series "The Avengers" are laid bare by the man who was John Steed.Lavishly illustrated, with many unpublished stills, behind-the-scenes, photos, and snaps from Macnee's private collection, this is a very personal portrait of the world's best-loved cult action-adventure series, and its classic sequel, "The New Avengers".In unflinching detail, Macnee reveals the true story behind the show, including his relationships with all four Avengers girls - Honor Blackman, Diana Rigg, Linda Thorson and Joanna Lumley - on and off the set!

It's is almost but not quite the "tell-all" people may have expected.
Overall it is a pleasant and occasionally enlightening read, with a delightful and generous assortment of b&w and color photos and illustrations, many previously unpublished. Comments contributed by the show's writers and directors add depth and insight. Perhaps one of the few weakness of the book is Mr. Macnee's frequent tendency to make long-winded apologies to his co-stars for either saying/doing something to offend them and/or not saying/doing something to support them. It's also a shame that he had to tread so carefully--there certainly are hints at larger issues that could do with some additional detail. At any rate, it is recommended to any fan.

If you've already got the book 'The Avengers and Me', don't buy this book as its just a reprint under a different name. This version is a hard-back, but otherwise its the same as the other book which was published back in 1997.

Having bought the last two seasons of the avengers I bought this as a companion piece.
As this type of book goes it really is very good usually these books are written by enthusiasts or
fans which is ok but no substitute for first hand experience of the stories being relayed.
Having said that this book is co written but the spirit of Patrick Macnee permeates the pages.
A good informative read well assembled and a great companion to the series
