This is a review for the updated edition; I don't have the older edition(s) so am not able to say what all has been added since. One thing it does not include that earlier editions apparently did is filming locations, due (the author notes) to the availability now of guidebooks devoted to that subject, such as The Oxford of Inspector Morse and Lewis by Bill Leonard, which I also own and reviewed here. So, unfortunately if you want that info, you will have to buy two books (note that the Leonard guide does not provide detailed filming information for every episode, but most of them. The Leonard book is also included with the Morse Complete Collection DVD set).This book includes a synopsis of all the Morse novels by Colin Dexter, all 33 television episodes, as well as radio and stage productions featuring Morse; information about the Inspector Morse Society, as well as Morse-related websites, non-fiction books, documentaries and other merchandise.As I am mainly a fan of the TV series, my review focuses on that aspect of the book. There's a cast list, air dates, and writing/production credits, and a quite detailed synopsis, of all 33 episodes together with what might be termed "fun facts" - such as a drink-by-drink tally of Morse's alcohol consumption; Colin Dexter's cameo spot revealed; comparison between novel and screen versions; the body count; the author's critique of the episode; Morse's love interest(s), if any; information gleaned about Morse and Lewis' personal lives; quotes; and the music heard in the episode. The latter is the most interesting and useful to me because, while my Morse-like husband can identify any piece of classical music in 2.
