Hello Everyone -

And please feel free to ask anything about this new book - and how it differs from Twitch Upon A Star!

Okay, I'll bite: How does this one differ from "Twitch"?

I enjoy referring to this book after watching each of the EM movies that I own. I just wish more of her movies would be released on DVD.

Thank you, Tiffany...and yes, I agree.

Fortunately, I believe that will happen...and that one day, there may even be box set of all of her TV-movies...and maybe a nice box set of her feature films.

Possibly even...all of her NON-and-PRE-Bewitched performances.

Wouldn't that be great?!

Hi Maurine....

ESSENTIAL differs from TWITCH in several ways:

Firstly, it is more of an encyclopedia of Elizabeth's entire career.

Think of it as The Bewitched Book....of her career.

In other words, it lists the details of each appearance she made on television, film, and the stage...before, during and after Bewitched....

The air dates...episode titles...show titles....writers and directors...notes for each performance...some provided by those who worked with her...others from past interviews that others gave...still other notes from professional journalists, and Bewitched fans...

Ultimately, the book started out as an INDEX to Twitch....but I soon realized that it needed to be a separate publication altogether.

And whereas Twitch was a hardcover, regular size...Essential is an oversized soft cover.

The publisher really did a beautiful job with it.

Thanks, Herbie! I haven't told you this, I don't think, but I wanted you to know that your Bewitched Book had a HUGE impact on my life. I had always harbored this secret passion for BW, and had my own little collection of TV Guide clippings, magazine articles, and lists of BW factoids--the phone number, address, nicknames for Darrin, witch and warlocks' names, family tree, etc. When I happened upon your book in Barnes & Noble, my life really changed! I had no idea there were others "out there" like me who were this passionate. Then I discovered this website and entered the Bewitched online community. That's been some time ago now, and I've always wanted to thank you for starting it all! Need to add Essential to my collection!

Maurine....

Thank you so very much for your kind words.

They have warmed my heart like you could never know.

Clearly, Bewitched has been special to countless people for now nearly 50 years.

And - really - the cornerstone of the show, of course...is Elizabeth herself.

She simply brought so much Love to the world...

And the most any of us could do to reflect that Love...is to live it....on a daily basis...in even the smallest ways.

Blessings to you, Maurine...again...for all you said here...and your appreciation of my work...and my humble place in the Bewitched legacy.

And I'm certain you'll love The Essential Elizabeth Montgomery...as much as I loved writing it.
