In 1991, Neil Summers, stuntman extraordinaire, began a series of TV Westerns books, published by The Old West Shop Publishing of Vienna, West Virginia. There are currently a total of four volumes, and they are all softbound. Each book is filled with hundreds of photos, trivia, behind-the-scenes commentary, and a synopsis of a television western. Many of them Neil worked on, and he was acquainted with many of the actors. Volume 1 profiles The High Chaparral, Volume 3 profiles Outlaws, and Volume 4 profiles The Young Riders. These books are extremely difficult to locate and are highly collectible. Expect to pay about $25 per book.
