 the love of the show charlie's angels January 4, 2009
i glad that i brought it however it was disappointing to not get color pictures and no interviews from kate jackson or shelly hack. not every show was listed in it and that i would read about one esp. to turn the page and it would go to another esp. it was good to have it but it was poorly put together and well we can see even through farrah fawcett is well known we can see who was the favorite in this book........
 Not bad but nothing special either July 17, 2008

Mr. Pingel's second tomb honoring Charlie's cherubs offers a light, fairly entertaining read. The book includes interviews and quotes from former Angels Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett, Cheryl Ladd and Tanya Roberts. It also includes a couple of pointless interviews with Jose Eber and Bob Seagren. Okay, since Farrah's hair did become a national craze, I can see why Eber was included but Seagren???? He was a guest star in one episode!
The book also includes a background for each character. "Celebrity" polls asking various questions such as "Who is your favorite Angel?" "Which Angel are you and why?" Various episodes are highlighted. There's a list of what seems to be any series that ever made any mention of Charlie's Angels.
The book does contain a lot of information. Some of it interesting but much of it pointless. Like "Angelic Heaven", the few photos presented are black and white (some are rather fuzzy as well). The book is made up of your basic low grade paper as opposed to the high gloss paper quality of "The Charlie's Angels Case Files." This latter book still remains the definitive essay on the series. Oh, and Tanya Roberts fans may be disappointed. In the entire 228 pages, there is only one photo of her. Guess we know who Mr. Pingel's LEAST favorite angel is.
I just recieved my copy July 17, 2008
Mike Pingle who has done an amazing job on the charlie's angels web-site has done a really nice job on this book.I really enjoyed the Farrah Fawcett interview and looking forward to reading the rest. I also learned he is doing a Q guide to Wonder Woman and will buy that as well. If your a true Charlie's Angels fan you will enjoy this book.

THIS is the book that should have been written all along. Mike Pingle scores a home run and a touch down with his 2nd attempt at honoring Charlie's Angels and this time with a true shout out to the gay audience that has made Charlie's Angels so popular 30+ years later.
Unlike the Angelic Heaven book which was fraught with editing nightmares - this guide is sleek and polished. The interviews with Angels Farrah, Cheryl, Tanya and Jaclyn give a true inside to what was happening during the run of the show and the appeal after. The photos supplied by the Angels themselves and fans, give a real insiders view.
Even the cover art is fabulous and truly captures the style of the 70's with the iconic status of the show.
Way to go Mike!

Just received my copy of the Charlie's Angels Q Guide today. What fun - especially the illustrated cover. Inside are some cool candid on-the-set photos of the Angels along with comments/interviews all throughout the book from Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett, Cheryl Ladd and Tanya Roberts. Also really enjoyed the heavenly tidbits dispersed throughout the book connecting the actresses with the various people they have worked with throughout their careers. And I also liked that only SELECT episodes were profiled and given more indepth details. VERY NICE BOOK - AND VERY NICE QUALITY! I'm ready to purchase more copies to give to family and friends . . . . and hopefully they'll have as much fun as I am having with this book!
