Description:
This book delves into the reasons why "A Country Practice" has been so popular. There are some nice black and white photos of the early cast members but it's largely a description of how the show was made, snippets of media articles, and a discussion of the effect the show had on its viewers. I recommend this book very highly if you want to learn more about the technicalities of how ACP was made. It can be a dry read at times, though, so it's probably not for people who just want a souvenir.
One small problem with this book is the binding. After a few reads, the binding tends to break and pages will fall out of the book. Great care should be taken with it.

Where to find this book:
Strangely enough you can't order it from BarnesandNoble.com or Amazon.com, in spite of the fact that you will occassionally see it listed in the Amazon.com online catalog (you could always try ordering it through your local book store, though). Chapters.ca in Canada lists it in their catalogue though the availability is undetermined.
You can definitely order it from Gleebooks in Sydney, Australia. The cost in 1999 was $17.95 AUD plus shipping and handling. They now have an online store where you can order it. If you have any questions about availability, prices, or estimated shipping costs, I would recommend that you email them at books@gleebooks.com.au.
