The Prisoner, a televisionary masterpiece
by Alain Carrazé and Hélenè Oswald Barnes and Noble, NY, 1995 ISBN 1-56619-819-4 Could this be the definite book on The Prisoner? Large format and splendid illustrations, many in full color. A thorough description of the series, packed with facts and thoughtful insights. Foreword by Isaac Asimov. |

The Prisoner
by Dave Rogers Barnes and Noble, NY, 1993 ISBN 1-56619-163-7 Rogers has written a number of books dealing with popular TV series and films. A nice book in large format, but not quite as outstanding as the one above. |

Be Seeing You: Decoding The Prisoner
by Chris Gregory University of Luton Press, 1997 ISBN 1-86020-521-6 The first academic book on the subject of The Prisoner. Got some bad press by 601 due to some factual slips. Otherwise an interesting book for many reasons. Do not expect too much decoding, though. |
|
Inside The Prisoner
by Ian Rakoff Batsford, London, 1998 ISBN 0-7134-8413-6 Excellent book from one of the series crew members back in the 60'ies. Does not only discuss TP but also other phenomena from that time period. Recommended. |

A memoir by Jonah Jones Seren, Poetry Wales Press, 1996 ISBN 1-85411-214-7 The story of the man behind Portmeirion -- the extraordinary place where The Prisoner was filmed. TP and McGoohan only mentioned briefly in this otherwise original and interesting book. |

The Gillis Guide to The Prisoner
by S J Gillis SJG Communications Services Ltd, Shrewsbury, 1997 ISBN 0-9528441-1-7 Large format. No pictures. Not much text either, mostly tables and lots of facts. Feels a bit too fanish, maybe. |

Le Prisoner, chef-d'oevre télévisionnaire by Alain Carrazé and Hélène Oswald Huitieme Art, France, 1989 The original in French of the TP book by Carrazé and Oswald. Different dustjacket picture, otherwise the same as above. |

The Prisoner of Portmeirion by Max Hora Number Six Publ., rev.ed., 1989 One of several booklets by Hora on The Prisoner. Excellent as usual, with many interesting color illustrations from Portmeirion. Hora, as you probably know, ran the Prisoner Shop for many year at Portmeirion. Wish I had all his booklets. |

The Prisoner by Thomas M. Disch NEL, London, 1980 The first in a series of novels sequelling the series. Probably the best. Disch didn't write the two others. |
