Sons of Anarchy: The Official Collector's Edition

This book is really awesome. If your a fan of the show get the book !!

Must Have For SAMCRO Fans! Something told me to pre-order this book. I ordered it a few days before the series finale. I received it on Wednesday morning. The series finale was still fresh in my mind. It was immediately impressed with the quality of this book. The images were colorful and beautiful. The information was fun to read and I learned a few new facts. I was also happy to see the main characters with a chapter dedicated to each of them. I wish there could have been more background information on John Teller , but you can't have it all! If you are a fan of the show in the characters this is a book you cannot afford to miss out on. If you have a fan of this show in your life this is the perfect gift for them. They will love you forever when they open this book up. It was nice to reminisce about seasons past & I enjoyed the season by season death roll call. I did not realize how much I miss dirty Phil or half sack until I read their names in the death roll call . This book is fabulous. Of course a few things could have been included maybe a bit more information about this or that, but all of that little stuff aside this book is a must have. Great job. Samcro forever!

I didn't discover SOA (somehow) until I caught the season 4 finale while channel surfing one Tuesday night. I devoured the first four season while waiting for the season 5 premiere, and then the show was a staple of my Tuesday nights for the next 3 falls. I initially bought the magazine format series guide before this came out--this book is definitely far superior. Everything that was in that newsstand magazine was used in this book, so get this and not that. In this book, we get background information on the club's founding, show creation, characters, clubs, guides to the episodes of all seven seasons (including the series finale), and much more. There was a bit of uproar just before this came out, when one distributor mailed book orders a week early, and people complained about Kurt Sutter having spoiled the series finale with this book. Well, to that I say: it wasn't Sutter's fault. He did a great service to the fans by creating this book, and by making it complete by including information from the entire seventh season--even more so that this was available immediately upon the show's finale (perfect timing to be given as a gift--which I did with one of the two copies I bought). Those people who got the book early made the choice to open it then and there before the final episode aired and spoiled the ending for themselves. Neither Sutter nor any of the Sons put guns to those fans' heads and made them read the sections on the show's final episode/character fates. This book is a great resource on the series and a worthwhile purchase for any SOA fan.

While coffee table books aren't my typical review fare, the Sons of Anarchy coffee table book by Tara Bennett can be an exception. As a fan of the show who got into it between the third and fourth seasons, Sons has been a part of my Tuesday nights for the past four years, and I am the type who has re-watched time and time again. Most television shows can come and go without incident, but this one had such a great story from beginning to end that there is a hole in my Tuesday nights that may never be filled. An introduction by showrunner Kurt Sutter begins this well-thought out ode to the show, which begins with the origins of the show, and goes on to give the SAMCRO family tree, with outlines of all of the main characters. For those unfamiliar with "biker speak", they have a mini glossary to help. This book has bits and pieces of production information, including prop work and makeup, as well as the hidden stories behind many of the tattoos seen on the show. There are portions for each season, and a separate portion for the final act. Without giving too much away (which is why I only posted a photo of the cover), this is a great book to add to any SOA fan's collection. Including photos and information not before seen, there is definitely a reason that it's a #1 bestseller on Amazon.com, and is sold out more often than not.

I wouldn't miss having this, as a fan of everything SOA. I rode my Harley out to California from Minnesota for the Season 7 premiere, to watch the red carpet from across the street. To go peek at the Teller-Morrow set. To watch Katey's star ceremony and concert with The Forest Rangers at the El Rey Theater. I wish I could have had this book then but of course, that would have spoiled the drama of the season unfolding. I did have the SOA Insider magazine which has some of the same information through Season 6. This has much more detail and includes Season 7. I've ended up collecting some cast autographs in each but I'd like to get them all in this book. Anyway, I love this as it stirs many priceless memories. There's some intangible joy in this show and cast which gives me a comfort no other has. Details - it is a hard cover with many lovely photos. It contains everything in the magazine official series guide (96 pages) plus more, it is over 200 pages. It has additional sections including more from Kurt Sutter, characters sections including Clay, Tara, Opie, Piney and Unser. It adds much more to the behind the scenes information on how the show was produced, with sections on tattoos, makeup, costumes, and music. And of course, it adds a detailed section on season 7.

Sons of Anarchy has been one of my all-time favorite shows since it began airing. This year I decided I wanted to re-watch the series so that I could absorb more of the often complicated plot line and I wanted a companion book to go along with the viewing experience. While I wish this book was more comprehensive, meaning I wish that it had episode summaries and other analysis, this is a beautiful companion that every SOA fan should have. It takes you behind the scenes of the show, and let's you into the minds of the show's creator, Kurt Sutter, as well as many of the cast members. It provides great insight, a lot of background details, and there are high-quality photos to accompany the text. Definitely worth it.

Amazing companion to the series! Any true fan of the show will love and very much enjoy this book. I'm not quite half-way through but all of what I've read is interesting and engaging. Not the same old things you read in interviews and online, excellent excecution and intriguing back stories. I'm also impressed with the quality of the book. Very nice hard cover with embossed logo. The pages are very thick and sturdy. Great printing, colors, high quality photos and stills from the show. Very well put together. Also at less than half price I was thrilled to gift this to myself :) ***UPDATE*** It gives a short rundown with the enemies of SAMCRO, Zobelle is nowhere in the book. I found that quite odd. Weston and Polly are both mentioned but no Zobelle anywhere at all.

WOW!!! It's a thick book...I mean 208 full color pages of awesomeness. The price is insane right now at $17.97. Buy it NOW before it goes up because this book is worth every penny. Even if you are a casual fan of the show, this book is well worth it. There's so much to read and it makes me love the show that much more. I'm bummed the show is over and now Tuesdays just plain suck!!!! I'll read this from front to back and re-watch the show from beginning to end again. This is a must buy. I buy a ton from Amazon and very rarely I do reviews, but this book is one of the BEST things to come out in awhile on Amazon. **BUYER BEWARE** - If you haven't watched every season of SONS, STILL buy this book but DO NOT READ THRU IT UNTIL YOU ARE DONE WATCHING THE SHOW all the way thru!!!!! it will give away EVERYTHING.

Un ouvrage de collection de très haute tenue : format, présentation, contenu, illustrations, anecdotes, genèse,... TOUT sur SoA. Complète la collection des DVDs et CDs (OST) d'une série TV majeure de la dernière décennie. N.B. : l'ouvrage est en anglais

Se si è fan di SoA e del modo in cui Kurt Sutter ha dato vita a questa serie tv capolavoro, questo libro non può mancare. Al di là delle foto che sono sempre belle da vedere, è ricco di informazioni, curiosità e analisi, soprattutto per quanto riguarda cosa ha portato al finale. Ottima rilegatura nella sua semplicità, tutto in inglese. Consegna nei tempi, articolo arrivato in ottime condizioni.

I own a ton of TV show coffee table books and this one is by far the best one I’ve ever read. Most of them are basically just a big summary of the plot of the show with some commentary sprinkled in, but if you bought the book you probably don’t need a summary! This one has a small summary for each season but the bulk of the book is interviews with Kurt, the actors, directors, set designers, costume designers, writers, etc. Goes into SO much detail about their thought process for writing the show, acting as the characters, and how much work was involved in bringing everything together. Learned SO much about SOA!!

Guía muy completa sobre los personajes, la historia previa y curiosidades de "detrás de las cámaras". Fotos de buenísima calidad y portada con tacto que imita la parca del club.

Didn't know this book actually existed, until I saw it online. Had to buy straight away, and definitely wasn't disappointed. Great read... a lot of facts that I didn't know, and loads of photos included! Highly recommended!! 😊
