Hey all...sorry if this is old news, but it was new to me when I found it in the reference section of my local library...

[u:0189b18a35]CBS Radio Mystery Theater: An Episode Guide and Handbook to Nine Years of Broadcasting, 1974-1982 [/u:0189b18a35](by Gordon Payton, Martin Grams)
c. 1999

COMPLETE info on all episodes, cast, airing details, etc...this is one cool book!

Yes, it's a good reference book. But like an encyclopedia, not one that you just sit down to read for enjoyment. Having said that, the first dozen pages or so (which serve as an introduction) are fairly enjoyable.

The best part is the index, because you can look up episode names as well as the actors. Pretty amazing when you see just how many episodes someone like Ralph Bell or Mason Adams was involved in.

We've discussed that one before. I think there are a number of errors in it. There is a person on eBay that regularly sells them but I do not have one.

Maybe we should maintain a list of the errors. Then confirm them, and inform the authors/publisher.
