Wowza. Clocking in at over 2,000 pages, this book is the not only the most comprehensive guide I've ever seen to Perry Mason, it's the most comprehensive guide I've seen ever, about anything. Obviously a labor of love, Davidson researched everything Mason and catalogued it, from the books and original TV show, to comics, the early movies, the TV movies, and radio shows. This was published before the recent HBO series that ran for two seasons, but other than that, it was very complete.
And very interesting. He did a great job of summing up the books and shows without spoilers (something I struggle with quite a bit when I discuss the books on this blog). He gave us some fun behind the scenes tidbits about Gardner, the TV show, and everything in between. It was well worth the effort, I really enjoyed it.
