What's in the book: plenty of everything

Hi Stefan,

There is quite a bit in the book about the excellent music in I Spy - and many quotes from Earle Hagen - and many quotes from others, including Robert Culp, about the importance of Hagen's music.

The fans of I Spy have waited too long for the story of this remarkable series to be told, so Linda LaRosa and I did all we could to put as much information in as possible. One of the publishers interested in this book called our 850 page manuscript "the brick," because of how heavy it was when he took it along to read on a flight to New York. To McFarland's credit, they cut very little. An 850 page manuscript will normally translate to about 425 pages in a book, and that's exactly the length of this one, plus another 25 pages of index and bibliography. Our hope is that even the hardcore fans of the series will be surprised and enlightened by what they read - and that it will take them a long time to read it!

I'll look forward to hearing what you and the others who visit the Forum have to say. You should have your book in a few weeks. Best, Marc Cushman
