---Word from Gauntlet:
SOLICITATION FOR AS TIMELESS AS INFINITY: THE COMPLETE ROD SERLING TWILIGHT ZONE SCRIPTS VOL. 1

Gauntlet Press is taking orders for AS TIMELESS AS INFINITY: THE COMPLETE ROD SERLING TWILIGHT ZONE SCRIPTS VOL. 1 which is now at the printer (for an anticipated late-June release). This is the first of a 10-volume series that will contain all 92 scripts Rod Serling penned for the classic television series, edited by Tony Albarella. Each book will be presented in an oversized 8 x 11 format and will be reprinted directly from Serling's personal collection, currently housed in the Special Collections Archive at Ithaca College. The scripts will appear in their original format and will not be typeset or altered in any way. In many cases this includes Serling's handwritten changes or notations. The Ithaca material also includes some revisions and earlier script drafts that differ, to varying degrees, from the final shooting scripts. We'll include these variant details where appropriate to document the creative process and track the evolution of the stories.

Cover art is by Harry O. Morris. ALL copies are signed by Carol Serling, who authorized the project and has been working with the editor to help assemble each volume. Our plan is to publish one volume in 2004 and two (each spring and fall) starting in 2005.

The Table of Contents for Volume 1 is as follows:

1) The Time Element. This hour-long was not an official Twilight Zone, but the widely accepted unofficial pilot. It was a Desilu Playhouse production from 1958 about time travel. It got surprisingly good ratings and that's what encouraged CBS to consider Serling's "sci-fi/fantasy" proposal. This show is seldom seen and has never been offered in print in any form.

2) Where is Everybody? (the official pilot)
3) Eye of the Beholder
4) Third from the Sun
5) The Purple Testament
6) The Big, Tall Wish
7) A Most Unusual Camera. Two versions of this script are included with the book -- one that is the "final shooting script" and one that is a complete, alternate version that varies from the other in several respects.
8) The Mind and the Matter
9) The Dummy

Volume One is 488 pages in length.

AS TIMELESS AS INFINITY comes in two states

750 Numbered edition signed by Carol Serling for $66.

The 52 copy traycased Lettered edition will contain an alternate version to "Where Is Everybody?" and will be signed by Carol Serling, Richard Matheson and noted genre director Rockne O'Bannon (Farsacpe). $200 cover price. We can offer the same letters for each book in the series (we can't do this with the shrinkwrapped numbered version) and if you order THE TWILIGHT ZONES SCRIPTS OF CHARLES BEAUMONT VOLUME 1 (being laid out now, but not yet being solicited) we can also provide you a matching letter to go with the Serling edition.

Sincerely,
Lamont Ingram
