About this product

Product Information

Widely acclaimed as the greatest Western ever made, Lonesome Dove has become a true American epic. Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel was a New York Times best seller, with more than 2.5 million copies currently in print. The Lonesome Dove miniseries has drawn millions of viewers and won numerous awards, including seven Emmys. A Book on the Making of Lonesome Dove takes you on a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey into the creation of the book, the miniseries, and the world of Lonesome Dove. Writer John Spong talks to forty of the key people involved, including author Larry McMurtry; actors Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Anjelica Huston, Diane Lane, Danny Glover, Ricky Schroder, D. B. Sweeney, Frederic Forrest, and Chris Cooper; executive producer and screenwriter Bill Wittliff; executive producer Suzanne de Passe; and director Simon Wincer. They and a host of others tell lively stories about McMurtry's writing of the epic novel and the process of turning it into the miniseries Lonesome Dove. Accompanying their recollections are photographs of iconic props, costumes, set designs, and shooting scripts. Rounding out the book are continuity Polaroids used during filming and photographs taken on the set by Bill Wittliff, which place you behind the scenes in the middle of the action. Designed as a companion for A Book of Photographs from Lonesome Dove, Wittliff's magnificent fine art volume, A Book on the Making of Lonesome Dove is a must-have for every fan of this American epic.

A Book on the Making of "Lonesome Dove" is not tarnished by the comparison, though the interviews offer only glimpses of the sparks occasioned by creative friction between director and cast. What it reveals is sufficient to suggest that the process actually mimicked the cattle drive it represented." - Clive Sinclair, Times Literary Supplement, April 2013, Whatever your interest-Lonesome Dove or America's westward expansion and the strong individuals who made it real-this book will lead you to new heights of entertainment and appreciation.

  • A great book to compliment a great movie and an amazing novel.

    Definitely a must have for "Lonesome Dove" fans. The book has great pictures and details about the making of the movie and is a great addition to any library. The book contains interviews from the cast, film crew, along with insight from Larry McMurtry. A great book for a great price. I bought the book to add to my "Lonesome Dove" collection and have enjoyed it thoroughly. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the movie and the novel. Very detailed information comparing the movie to the novel as well.

  • The Quintessential Book for Lovers of Lonesome Dove

    The book is not only absolutely lovely to look at—the photos are divine—but it’s also such a wonderful insight into the making of Lonesome Dove. Thank you so much!
