«Goodnight John Boy...»
The book arrived in pristine condition, and in only a few days from the time of ordering it. My wife is a huge Waltons fan, and she loved the book!

«Good Night John Boy»
I have always loved the Walton's. I have been enjoying watching the reruns on the Hallmark channel each morning. I bought the book to go along with the shows I have been watching. It is a great little book for anyone interested in this 70s show. I am 61 now and seem to be getting alot more out of the show than I did 30 years ago. The book helps me get a running idea of the development of the show since the reruns jumped from year one to year 7 in a three week period.

«Enjoyable supplement to the Walton series»
I didn't realize that the Waltons was "loosely" based on Earl Hamner's young life. I enjoyed reading about his life and how he was able to get jaded Hollywood to see that people liked this kind of family show. I also liked reading about each of the actors and what each tv episode was about. It is an easy and enjoyable read.
