Stephen La Riviere's book "Filmed in Supermarionaton" is expected to be available by July 2009. Its the result of extensive research and interviews with the cast and crew of the Supermarionation shows of the 50s and 60s.

Here is an exerpt from the available information on the book:

 

Filmed in Supermarionation is the story as you've never heard it before of the puppet empire that rose from the Slough Trading Estate in the 1960s and created shows such as Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90. Starting right at the beginning with Gerry Anderson's directorial debut in 1955 and finishing on the day the puppet studios closed in 1969, the book charts the rise and fall of the A.P. Films / Century 21 Organisation's 'Supermarionation' films. The book features a wealth of new information, hundreds of previously unseen photographs and is based on hours of interviews with cast and crew, newspaper articles and previously unpublished paperwork.

There is a Facebook group as well as a web site with details on the book as well as information on how to place a pre-order which also should ensure you get it signed by both Stephen and David Elliott, who wrote the forward to the book.
