Books

The West Wing, with a foreword by Martin Sheen and written by the show’s writer Aaron Sorkin, is a beautiful hardcover coffee table style book. Published in 2002, it is the official companion to the first two seasons of the show with a detailed synopsis of all episodes, character profiles and behind the scenes gossip. An unauthorised and unofficial Guide to The West Wing by Keith Topping is a paperback that does a similar job but on a smaller scale.
