Superfluous; Not Enough Info on the Cast/Series
23 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback
"Twin Peaks: Access Guide to the Town" opens with a puzzling, rather humorous letter from Mayor Milford (isn't he always?), which gives the pace to the rest of this tongue-in-cheek, pseudo-guide of Twin Peaks, Washington. There is some fun stuff in here, like mini bios and mug shots of the more relevant cast members (but why did the waitress from the Great Northern get such a large bio?), town maps, and even the jukebox selections at the Double R Diner, plus some recipes for any Twin Peaker's diet: cherry pie, coffee, and doughnuts.
However, this book is absolutely brimming with useless facts, like an excerpt from Andrew Packard's will, a ten-page section on Packard Sawmill (oh, thrills), Washington State history, first explorers, Native American tribes, flora, fauna, geology, weather, and a bizarre advertisement for Tim and Tom's Taxi-dermy (one part blind taxi driver; one part taxidermist). Even if you condensed the more important stuff, it would never reach the current 112 pages, but less than 1/4 of that, if that much.
I wouldn't consider this book necessary reading, even if you are a Twin Peaks fan; but if you love to collect Twin Peaks stuff (like I do), then you might consider buying this book. Even so, Twin Peaks fans looking for info on the series will more than likely be disappointed, because this book reads more like a boring tourist guide or junior high history textbook than a TV tie-in. I'd recommend checking out "Welcome to Twin Peaks: A Complete Guide to Who's Who and What's What" and/or "Twin Peaks: Behind the Scenes" instead.

A map, some clues, and some damn fine coffee
9 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
What would a third season of this great television show provided? This book provides the clues as well as other interesting tidbits, including a drawing of the Owl Cave petroglyph and other oddities. Some entries are sketchy a best, but this is a must have for any fan of the little town with a popualtion of 51,201

Twin Peaks, Washington on paper...in every way
16 July 2010
Format:Paperback
Before you head off to order a hot cup of joe and a slice of apple pie at the Double-R Diner, pick up this guide to the town. Starting with a letter from the Mayor, this guide contains all manner of useful information that you'll want to know before you visit and check in to the majestic Great Northern Lodge, located just outside of town along the banks of the Columbia river in far-northern Washington State. Worried about getting lost? There's a map on the back! The only time you'll be lost is when you're reading this guide, which in Twin Peaks means you've found exactly what you're looking for.
