This book is a lovely addition to the BBC mini-series.
It has pages of glossy photos and information about the pre-production and casting. The casting in particular is my favourite as it has photos of the actors before the hair and make-up changes.
The only thing I was disappointed at was the lack of interviews etc with the cast. There are a few smaller interviews, but I would have liked to see a lot more.

This book is a must-have for serious Pride and Prejudice fans. It's loaded with beautiful color photos. There are pictures of the actors on the set, the English countryside where the miniseries was set, and scenes taken from the miniseries. The book gives behind the scenes information on how several of the actors were chosen for their roles and how the locations were chosen. I especially like the publicity photos of the actors as they look when not in their costumes. Some are barely recognizable! It's a great book to have if you love the miniseries as I do.

First, I have to say that I have NEVER bought a "Behind the Scenes" book on ANY movie. I stumbled across "The Making of Pride and Prejudice" on Amazon. Sue Birtwistle's adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" IS probably my favorite movie of all time, but the previous reviews on Amazon convinced me that I would like the book as well.
If you truly enjoyed the movie, I hope that you will take a chance and read, "The Making of Pride and Prejudice" by Sue Birtwistle and Susie Conklin - even if you don't normally read this type of book. It is FASCINATING. It isn't just all the wonderful pictures (and how DIFFERENT the actors looked!); it is that this book methodically explains the concept behind the movie, the writing, the casting, the houses ("Pemberley" is actually at Lyme Park), the costumes, the wigs (Jennifer Ehle is a BLONDE!) and so many more interesting facts.
I was particularly amazed that Colin Firth originally TURNED DOWN the role of Darcy - because he didn't feel that he could do justice to the part. (Most of us can't imagine ANYONE except Firth playing the role!) Sue Birtwistle had to convince him to do the part. (And he was so nervous that he was physically ill initially.)
This is a terrific book, which chronicles the process of making a truly magnificent movie.
