Review: Great book, a must have for all House (and film/TV) fans - This is an amazing book, with detailed inside description of the process behind making House. There is inside information on how the show started, how David Shore came up with the character and Katie Jacobs / Paul Attanasio's involvement in that. There is casting info, talks with all behind the scenes working crews, major talks with writers and how House is written and the process behind it, details on the process of filming the show and how things are done and shot, talks with directors, key talks with Greg Yaitanes - House's amazing Director-Producer, the flow of a typical day on House, talks with ADs and, major talks and interviews with the actors. On chapter dedicated to each character - with actors, directors and producers discussing each one. And, then, there is the awesome Foreword by Hugh Laurie - who's cleaver and funny, the man has wit to spare. Do not hesitate to buy this book, you won't regret it if you like House and/or the process of "making of" as much as I do. Must have!!!! Buy it now!!! Review: Finally a House Book Worth Reading - I highly recommend this book of the behind-the-scenes House. Hugh Laurie introduces the book with a wonderful forward, befitting his unlimited talents. The book is full of quotes from everyone I could think of related to the show, including more from Mr. Laurie. Ian Jackman obviously spent countless hours in research and interviews doing detailed preparation to give us fans an entertaining and refreshing look at what it takes to put House on the air. The book is visually easy to read with many new pictures, varying fonts, entertaining quotes, quips and stories that are making it most difficult to stop reading! Not a retread of information at all, as I had anticipated. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,198,625 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #609 in TV Shows #713 in TV History & Criticism #1,053 in Television Genres (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 108 Reviews | ## Images ![House, M.D.: The Official Guide to the Hit Medical Drama – The First Authorized Companion to the Emmy Award-winning Series with Hugh Laurie - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+pC-58pxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book, a must have for all House (and film/TV) fans *by H***1 on August 18, 2010* This is an amazing book, with detailed inside description of the process behind making House.

I was pleasantly surprised. I of course thoroughly enjoyed Hugh Laurie's introduction in and of itself, but there was more. The book starts from the concept to pilot and runs through the sixth season. I was walked through the step by step process of producing each episode, treated to interviews with cast and crew, and re-introduced to each character and how they ticked. Both creator and cast give insights into the latter. A must read for a House fan. Also interesting for someone interested in what goes into putting together a TV episode. ## Frequently Bought Together - House, M.D.: The Official Guide to the Hit Medical Drama - The House That Hugh Laurie Built: An Unauthorized Biography and Episode Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5143848-house-m-d-the-official-guide-to-the-hit-medical](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5143848-house-m-d-the-official-guide-to-the-hit-medical) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
