1991: WELCOME TO TWIN PEAKS: ACCESS GUIDE TO THE TOWN (Pocket Books)



From 1991: WELCOME TO TWIN PEAKS: ACCESS GUIDE TO THE TOWN

This was the last of the official tie-in books published in that brief boom period when the series looked like a sure-fire certified hit rather than a show that scored well for only a few weeks, generated acres of press coverage and then started to fade before the first (short) season had even finished its run.

The Access Guide follows the tried-and-tested (although maybe not so much back in 1991) formula of writing an authentic looking tourist/ visitors guide to  fictional local by incorporating and expanding on elements introduced on-screen.  

This was written during the production of the second season because it incorporates elements like Owl Cave which, from memory, didn't become part of the mythos before Year Two.  

This was published in the States and, unlike the other books, I don't think it earn't a separate British edition.

  1. amazon does actually list a uk penguin edition here:

    There was also another twin peaks book with the same name as covered previously by your blog here:

    and here:

    This one was definitely written in the later stages as the owl cave played a large part in the windom earle storyline as did glastonberry grove which is where cooper enters the black lodge.

    Hard to believe but apparently mark frost has said that the sequel wont air till 2017. You have to wonder why its taking them so long to get going. After all the new x-files mini-series is already well into production with cover stories in both ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY and the new issue of SFX.

    Anyway, it just wont be the same without killer bob.
