Product Description

Book Description

An episode-by-episode guide to this award-winning drama.

Product Description

'Who could not be happy with all this?'

Donald Draper, season one, episode two

Sophisticated, controversial and stylish, Mad Men has been mesmerising its many fans since it first appeared on our screens in 2007. The Hitchcock-inspired title sequence, the period Madison Avenue set design and the impeccably styled costumes have all garnered admiration, but it is the quality of the scripts and the intensity of the drama that keeps people coming back for more.

What is Don Draper's big secret?

Will Pete and Peggy's love ever see the light of day?

And how on earth do they manage to smoke and drink so much over the course of a working day?

These questions and countless like them are debated in this brilliant collection, which features comments and discussions from the Guardian's Notes from the Break Room blog coupled with in-depth interviews with the show's creators and stars. Whether you've been watching the series from the beginning or are new to the show, The Ultimate Guide to Mad Men is as compelling as the show itself.

Format:Paperback
A flimsy paperback with no pix. How is that? when the show relies so heavily on it's visual content to seduce and mesmerise. Two is for the content. Actually I'd award Zero for presentation. Don would have just binned it.

If you are the kind of person that starts up a conversation with 'Did you know...' then this reference book could come in handy. There are some interesting 'ficts' (factual fictional insights) But overall nothing to get excited about, most of the content is derived from a blog and it reads that way. I don't want to hand over hard earned readies to consume other viewers impressions and assumptions in regurgitated form. It's not the way to go!

Maybe my expectations need re-adjusting? I bought the Sopranos official HBO guide and was blown away by it. I suspect this publication is more about a quick cash in. I love the show so I will most likely purchase other related publications. In summary, this is not what it says on the tin. Extremely liberal use of the word 'Ultimate'. Approach with caution.

I rarely return books to Amazon, even when I don't particularly like them, but I returned this one. The book is essentially built-around a blog that the editor maintained, and even includes comments from blog users--which gives you a good idea of the level of insight you can expect from them. There's little here that you couldn't get just by talking to a few half-way intelligent friends about the show.

Mad Men Guide 8 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
I disagree with the previous review. This blog turned book is witty, intelligent and a fantastic companion to the show. I will definitely be buying this as a Christmas present for myself and for other Mad Men fans. I particularly enjoyed the fact that other people's views were included in the book and I was very pleased to see the playlist for the show. Highly recommended.
