Queer as Folk: The Book

If you're a fan of the show, this books is worth it - provided you can find a good, used copy at a good sale price, since it's definitely not worth the original price. Personally, I bought it for the text rather than the photos, since the latter are somewhat lacking in originality.This book covers almost everything about the show - from its initial conceptual formation by the producers, to chapters dealing with background info on the show and the characters, stories from the actors about how they were cast and how they perceive their characters, as well as interesting quotes from the the producers, and background info from the set and costume designers. Personally, I really love those extra tidbits!The bonus DVD included with the hardcover edition is a nice touch; it contains a short documentary titled "Queer as Folk: Behind The Camera With Cast and Crew", narrated by Peter Paige (although I should point out that the exact same short doc can also be found as a bonus feature on the Season 3 DVD set, so if you already have that, then you won't be seeing anything new).My one regret is that this book only covers seasons 1-3, and that they never published another book for season 4 & 5.Overall, I'd say that this book was worth it for what I paid.

This is a great Queer As Folk "coffee table" book.In addition to some great photographs of the entire cast (not just our favorite main characters, but everyone including Jennifer and Daphne!) this book contains a brief description of all episodes from Seasons 1, 2 and 3 (season 4 begins in 2004).The episode recaps are a handy reference to the DVD collections, if you have those, or just as a reminder of plot sequence, and the information is accompanied by photos from the episodes explained.Each individual character is profiled as well as the actor/actress who portrays them, again with accompanying pictures and stills. Some of the photographs are familiar, the same posted on the QAF Showtime site, but others are new.Color photography is used throughout and the quality of the paper and the book itself is outstanding.The Bonus DVD at the end of the book (attached at the back page) contains some fun stuff and some is brand-new, not featured on the Season 1 or Season 2 DVD collections.I would highly recommend this Queer As Folk book to any fan of this outstanding series.

Interesting and fascinating look into one of the bravest series done for its time. The difficulties in getting the series greenlighted and the process of auditioning from the producers and actors viewpoint. Detailed episode guide for the first 2 season. Loads of great photos and personal reflections.

Love and miss queer as folk (USA Version) tells life as it really is with no apologies

After watching the series, it was a real treat to get the book and see how the cast was chosen and what they each thought of their on screen characters. The pictures were great and a really good selection. So glad I found it on Amazon and ordered it.

For lovers of all things QAF. Good behind the scenes comments by cast. Only covers the first 3 seasons.

excellent condition

LOVE IT! Arrived in very good condition. Didn't take too long to get here, and it's overall amazing. It has lots of behind the scenes photos and glossy pages. Recommend to any QAF fan! :)

I absolutely love this series and was delighted to discover that there was a episode book also. The book covers the episodes up until the end of series three and give a short description of the main plotlines. Also featured is an insight into how the series first began in addition to interviews with the shows main cast members. I especially loved the images in the book as there were many from behind the scenes as well as screenshots from the actual episodes. The only thing that I was disappointed in was that there was not a follow up to this book for the final two series!! Despite this though I do believe that this book is a definite must for any fan of the Queer as folk series.

Disappointed that Gale Harold only commented once on an episode, and Randy Harrison not at all

Just got love it

I was recommended to watch the series on DVD and found it very entertaining. It was on a while ago but the book fills in some of the gaps. Good condition and was delivered on time!

Good service value for money
