The book really captured the essence of the brilliance of Aaron Sorkin

I was wondering did the authors ever think of doing a complete breakdown of every episode from 1to7 with guest Star credits and behind the scenes stories and breakdown of plotlines.I would love to read how the actors dealt with John Spencers Death and Leo respectively.I would love to see pictures from behind the scenes like a day of shooting and a tour of the set pictorially speaking.
Great book

Camelot the way it should have been
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The West Wing is an idealized look at how the American presidency should have been; idealized but not flawless. Jed Bartlet has plenty of things to drive anyone close to him around the bend. This book looks at the Emmy award-winning series from a number of perspectives. Anyone interested in American history or the presidency will find this an essential look at a peculiarly American institution. Great Job.
