The Complete Twilight Zone Scripts of Rod Serling Volumes 5 to 10 Signed Hardcover Set (PREORDER)

This six volume set includes As Timeless As Infinity: The Complete Twilight Zone Scripts of Rod Serling Volumes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Hardcovers, all signed by Carol Serling, limited to 500 numbered copies each!

This series is entitled AS TIMELESS AS INFINITY: THE COMPLETE TWILIGHT ZONE SCRIPTS OF ROD SERLING. Except for The Twilight Zone Magazine and a few textbooks, this is the first time that Carol Serling authorized (and took an active role in) the publication of these scripts. Tony Albarella (co-author of THE TWILIGHT ZONE SCRIPTS OF EARL HAMNER and one of the Board of Directors for the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation) is the editor for this deluxe series.

AS TIMELESS AS INFINITY offers a unique and definitive look at Rod Serling’s landmark Twilight Zone teleplays. The classic scripts are reprinted directly from Serling’s personal collection, currently housed in the Special Collections Archive at Ithaca College. As editor, Albarella worked closely with Carol Serling to bring out material that has never before been made available to the public.

The scripts appear in their original format and are not typeset or altered in any way. In some cases this includes Rod’s handwritten changes or notations. The Ithaca material also includes many revisions and earlier script drafts that differ, to varying degrees, from the final shooting scripts. AS TIMELESS AS INFINITY includes these variant details where appropriate to document the creative process and track the evolution of the stories.

A commentary accompanies each rare script; in many cases this includes exclusive interview material with cast and crew and select comments from Serling himself. In addition, many of Rod’s friends and colleagues paid tribute to the man and his work. Included are appreciations from contemporaries who worked with Serling as well as current talents who were inspired by him.

Preparation for this ambitious collection began in early 2002. Since then, over one hundred interviews were conducted. These books offer an in-depth, behind-the-scenes examination of Rod Serling and his signature creation, including examples of Serling’s personal correspondence, vintage communications from CBS, rare production photos and much more.

Rod Serling was a true visionary – one of the pioneers of early television – and The Twilight Zone showcased some of his finest creations. AS TIMELESS AS INFINITY presents these ageless tales in a tribute worthy of Serling’s legacy.
