Replete with quotes, tidbits, trivia, and catch phrases, this book celebrates the 40th anniversary of television's quintessential periodical. The book's double columns, liberally illustrated with photos of the greats and near-greats, effectively capture the history of TV in brief episodes. Famous ``firsts,'' feuds, and more are covered in the same breezy style found in TV Guide . Two noteworthy features are a 200-question ``Tough and Tricky TV Trivia Test'' (with answers) and a timeline incorporating celebrity birthdays and program history highlights with technical milestones.
