Now that I’ve recovered enough from Doctor Who to be coherent…
I am so excited. Yesterday, I put in the order for The World of Downton Abbey and The Chronicles of Downton Abbey: A New Era. Both books are written by Jessica Fellowes, the niece of Downton Abbey creator and writer Julian Fellowes. They’re basically behind the scenes with production notes and all this information. Chronicles apparently has lots of series 3 spoilers, but the book isn’t shipping until after the series finishes airing in the UK. So I’ll be fine on that note.
World cost me about twenty dollars (with shipping). Not bad for a 304 page hardcover book. Chronicles is going to cost me about twenty-four dollars. It is also hardcover and runs 320 pages.
Okay, so they aren’t expensive. But I’m a college frosh with little money.
I really just want all the information so I can properly edit the Wikipedia articles. It’s surprisingly difficult to upkeep those things. I’m having a difficult time finding reviews.
I think I’ll buy the two script books when they come out too. They’re supposed to have Fellowes’s comments and some things he cut, very useful for fangirling and Wikipedia work.
