After a long wait, I was VERY pleased to get my hands on this book! If you are an Angel Fan (or a Farrah fan, like myself) you'll love this book as much as I do. It's full of interesting info, fun facts that even after all these years, I didn't know and lots of great "behind-the-scenes" photos. My thanks to Mike Pingle for putting this book together! Mike-You did a good job! Kenny :-)

poor quality, the book is very similar to the author's website which is consistently filled with grammar problems, typos, missing words etc.

ANGELIC HEAVEN: A FAN'S GUIDE TO CHARLIE'S ANGELS is as Lighthearted and Fun as the TV show!
If you're a newfound Angels junkie or merely "Angel-curious" than there's no better book to catch you up to speed on the 1970's TV phenomenon. The use of the word "guide" in the title of this book is accurate since it provides a clear and brief history of the show's creation, it's "concept", a breakdown of all five seasons' episodes, and biographies on all of it's eight main characters. (Also, provided are biographies of cast members before and after their time on the show. Also, please note there's nothing about the motion pictures. It's a purely classic Angels read.)
If you're already a hard-core fan of the TV show and have seen just about all there is to see Angel-wise, please know this book isn't a copycat of Jack Condon and David Hofstede's 2000 publication CHARLIE'S ANGELS: CASEBOOK. Whereas, their book was low on pictures and great for an indepth read into the show and the people involved, this publication isn't something you'll cosy up to before bedtime - you'll devour within a day or two much like a kid with a comic book and find yourself skimming back over it again and again. Why? It's literally filled from front to back with EYE CANDY of rare or never published shots of the cast, along with TV guide ads, toy trade ads, magazine covers, etcetera. Some of it's photos were actually donated to the author Mike Pingel by Cheryl Ladd. (Alongside those pictures you'll find her personal remarks. Anyone else smile when seeing a youngTori Spelling hanging out with the Angels?)
Add to the rare photos all the minutia of off-the-wall trivia, than this book is like comfort food for most any Angels fans - new or lifelong.
This book does have it's glitches in both the proofreading and layout departments and these mistakes seem to occur more often as you get further into it's pages. Fortunately, these flaws are very few in number and won't leave the reader confused or lost, as the book is pretty basic in it's layout and is very easy to follow.
Personal Note: As a lifelong Angels fan, I want to give kudos to fellow fan and author Mike Pingel for all his hard work, as well as, the fun spirit he's injected into his book. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! If he ever needs any rope for the lynching of the editor and publishing house who've brought some pretty harsh and misdirected criticism upon him, he need not look far for a supplier. Best of luck to a fan among fans!

I was expecting really much much more from my dear friend Mike Pingel. I was really dissapointed. Amateur work, low quality paper, all photos are black and white and very low quality, no color pictures, very bad design, mislabelled articles and photos and a whole amateur feeling throught the book.
Really dissapointed.
