The Flintstones Frequently
      Asked Questions List

      30. What is the best general reference work on the show?

        My vote goes to The Flintstones: A Modern Stone Age Phenomenon by T. R. Adams (Turner Publishing, 1994). It's a big, deluxe coffee table book with beautiful color pictures and an episode guide, and, despite a number of inaccuracies, it approaches every aspect of the series' history with a seriousness and attention that is truly remarkable. The interview material quoted in this document is taken from the Adams text.
