I'm brand new to this forum because I just found out about it from a friend and fellow Avengers fan. I'm glad to know that there are still forums dedicated to the program. These days, one searches for "the Avengers" and is more likely to have their screen filled with links to a certain Marvel comic series or series of films.
It was partly that that made me want to bring more attention to the sixties British television version. So, I did what many people might do. I wrote a book about the show. Years ago, I ran a website called The Quite Quite Fantastic Avengers Website Ltd, which was named after the organization run by Ron Moody in "Honey for the Prince". And I decided to take all the material I had written for the website and edit it into a book. In the end, I discovered that the original writing really wasn't up to standard, so I rewrote everything. Six months later, the end result is a 209,000 word book with 427 pages at a 8.5" x 11" trim size. Boy, was I silly!
Anyway, the book is called Quite Quite Fantastic! The Avengers for Modern Viewers. It's my attempt to bring newfound attention to the series and look at it from the viewpoint of today's television viewers. Both The Avengers and The New Avengers are covered in full, and it's intended to be largely comprehensive. The bulk of it is composed of reviews and analysis, but there is considerable information on production behind the scenes for each season and a series of mini-biographies of all the main stars, and many of the guest actors, directors, and screenwriters. I also review related media, like the 1998 film and some of the independent productions starring Diana Rigg. I realized at some point during the process that I was writing the Avengers book that I would like to read, and I hope that you will find it highly enjoyable.
Naturally, I'm here in part to promote my labor of love, but I look forward to discussing the series with all of you here. In the meantime, here are the links to the books on Lulu.

A double surprise, because, in the first place, the appearance of Michael in this forum is already a big event and personally evokes nostalgia for those times when the first years I wandered around the international Avengerland and loved the site Quite Quite Fantastic Avengers very much. 
I looked at book through Lulu and read the preview - I definitely will buy it. What I liked - it's completely written in the style of Mike in the way that you can remember on his wonderful site. Detailed, voluminous, interesting material (based on preview, of course), and no less important - written by a man who has a lot of experience in it.
