The Essential Mayberry

"Neal Brower, longtime superfan and show expert, has been writing and even teaching courses about The Andy Griffith Show for more than thirty years.

This book is full of inside details about the show's production, featuring commentary on individual episodes from many of the show's writers--including Harvey Bullock, Everett Greenbaum, Sam Bobrick, Jack Elinson, Aaron Ruben, and their partners--as well as material from Andy Griffith's annotated show scripts" --
