I'm a diehard fan of Downton Abbey and have the booksThe Chronicles of Downton Abbey and The World of Downton Abbey. This book, Behind the Scenes at Downton Abbey, is just a rehash of the other 2 books I mentioned previously. The only new thing in this book is that it has a limited amount of photos of the new upcoming Season 4. The narrative gives the same story as the other 2 books (how Julian Fellowes came to creating the series, how the actors were selected, the clothes, the locations, etc. etc. etc.). The book is printed on good quality paper, the photos are clear, and all in color. If I had seen this book in a bookstore, I would not have purchased it. I was debating on whether to return it, but since it does have a few photos of the new season, I will keep it. If you already have both or either of the books I mentioned, save your money and don't purchase this one. If you are new to Downton Abbey or do not have the other 2 books, then, yes, this will be a fine addition to your home library.

AWESOME BOOK for Downton Abbey's fans
It delves into the secret workings behind the show (the kitchen, the staff, the waredrobe and jewelary, the make-up, the hair, filiming on different locations )
It gives so many details and funny quotes by the directors, the writer, and the actors and how they felt acting in such a magnificant castle like Highclere
I discovered so many things (the scenes in the kitchen and staff were filmed at Ealing Studios and were reconstructed \ some of the ladies' dresses where some vintage pieces recreated and remade\ the new blender was a vintage piece ordered from ebay , a really old one from the twenties!! The dog Isis was so in love with the actor Allen Leech that he was told not to pay attention to her or she would leave Lord Granthem and run to him lool !! )
It was full of details and pictures and maps
its like a complete guide
It also shows how much hard work the staff and cast go through to produce such a beautiful show
I highly recommend it !
