Interesting read for a fan of the show

If your a fan of The West wing and don't have all the time in the world to cruise the web for every minor detail about the show or individual episodes, then this would be a good book for you. It has alot of minor trivia that you would not neccesarily know as a casual fan.

Covers first three seasons and a portion of the fourth

Topping wrote excellent episode guides to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a series which I like for the same reason I like "West Wing": I am willing to overlook unrealistic, inconsistent plots to enjoy the witty dialogue.

I zeroed in on Topping's treatment of "Dead Irish Writers," the worst episode of the series. Topping accurately points out that the whole Donna-is-suddenly-Canadian plotline is ridiculous on many levels, and how unbelievable it is that the "English" (British?) ambassador would make rude comments to the President about the First Lady's body. However, the low point of the book is Topping's asinine rant about how the Northern Ireland conflict is solely about national loyalties and has nothing to do with religion. Nothing to do with religion?!

Topping, a Brit, gives four to six pages for each episode, focussing on logical flaws, memorable lines, actors' prior roles, and oddball categories such as "Oh, Donna!" Overall, the author's insights compared unfavorably to those in his "Buffy" books, but it is still the best hard-copy episode guide on the market. The "revised and updated" 2004 edition covers the first three seasons plus the first seven episodes of the fourth season.

Great for looking up quick facts,

I use this all the time, still after all of these years being off the air. You can never have enough WW knowledge in my opinion.

The West Wing has been one of the most talked-about and critically acclaimed series in the UK, and in the US it is NBC's biggest hit drama show in years, Inside Bartlet's White House is an unofficial and indispensable guide to the show, diving deep into the world of American Politics and searching for the truth and integrity behind the Bartlet administration. Now updated to encompass Season Three and and part of Season Four, covering the highlights of the episodes in categories such as American History X, Sex and Drugs and Rock'nRoll, A view from the Hill and Logic, Let Me Introduce You to This Window, it is an essential look at the complex and fascinating world of the White House and the most powerful men in the world.
