Are there any official sources of information (books, etc.) on Anderson productions? everal. Boxtree Publications has produced a series of behind-the-scenes books for STINGRAY, THUNDERBIRDS, SCARLET, and UFO/SPACE:1999 that are very good resources for the Anderson fan, though many have pointed out serious inaccuracies in the UFO/SPACE:1999 book; the three books on the Supermarionation series are now available in one volume, SUPERMARIONATION CLASSICS. The late Derek Meddings, designer of the F/X for almost all the 60's Anderson series as well as the first BATMAN movie, the SUPERMAN movies, and LIVE AND LET DIE, has written a book entitled 21ST CENTURY VISIONS, which details much of the magic of the model work in such series as THUNDERBIRDS, SCARLET, and UFO. The late Simon Archer's FAB FACTS, despite flaws, is considered the bible of Supermarionation and Gerry Anderson trivia. John Peel's THUNDERBIRDS-STINGRAY-CAPTAIN SCARLET:THE AUTHORISED PROGRAM GUIDE is a passible quick reference to the Supermarionation series with error-prone episode guides and decent background on the development of the Supermarionation art; the book has a strong THUNDERBIRDS bias and gives only superficial treatment to SUPERCAR, FIREBALL XL5, JOE 90, and THE SECRET SERVICE. Sylvia Anderson's autobiography YES, M'LADY is also considered a definitive source of information on Anderson productions. There are also tie-in books ("annuals") for most of the Anderson puppet shows available, mostly through rare book stores and specialty merchandisers, and some shows (SCARLET, THUNDERBIRDS) have story books for children available.
