Customer comments on this selection.
 Great book--just make sure you get the corrected version
This is actually an entertaining and fun book...IF you get the right version. It is a very well organized and nostalgic trip down memory lane. I particularly love the magazine-style layout and format of the book which contains lots of pictures and sidebars with tidbits and trivia. I enjoyed looking at the original TV Guide advertisements, the Angels merchandise, old magazine covers, and Cheryl Ladd and Farrah Fawcett's personal photos.
Unfortunately, the first copy I received was full of errors: mislabeled captions, fuzzy photos, incomplete sentences, etc. I was so disappointed that I promptly resold it. I'm sure it was the publisher's mistake, but many people here were quick to blame the author.
I recently obtained another copy, and I was surprised. All the errors had been corrected and the pictures were sharper (although still black and white).
Obviously, I got a corrected copy. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to distinguish one from the other. What I mean is, on the copyright page it doesn't say 2nd printing or 2nd edition--only copyright 2006.
I know I got a corrected version because on pages 42, Pingel writes about the Angels Emmy reunion tribute for Aaron Spelling and there is a picture of them on pg. 41. That event occurred in late August 2006-- a few months AFTER the book's first June publication date so there are 2 versions--just make sure you get the second version!
Hello Angels: time to go to work
Well this show really did it for me as an impressional young lad. I love the Angels and was so excited to finally get this book after waiting Way to long for the autographed copy the author promised on the angels website(Sadly it arrived with no autograph but a written not saying to many people ordered it so could'nt be signed-funny but he could take the time to write the note!-Oh Well). I enjoyed it but wish there were more color Photos of my Angels. The Angels will be loved forever so I am a lifetime fan for sure! I think it was thown together to make the deadline so not as full as I had hoped. I hope the next time I meet Jaclyn Smith she will sign it like my doll and her beauty book.
 Sorry, Charlie...
The book contains interesting facts and trivia about "Charlie's Angels", along with contributions from Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Ladd. The highlight of Angelic Heaven are the personal photos of Farrah and Cheryl. Other than some pictures, there's nothing new here. Additionally, the book has many grammatical errors, which become distracting after reading too many poorly written or incomplete sentences. For a more comprehensive and a better well-written book about "Charlie's Angels" (with a brief introduction bt Jaclyn Smith), buy The Charlie's Angels Casebook by David Hofstede.
 I was so glad to get this book!!! Farrah' biggest fan here!!!!!!
First of all the cover is awesome, a beautiful picture of the Angels with the Cheryl Ladd picture that I heard Farrah and Cheryl both chose. I bought this book because I collect anything on Farrah Fawcett and the Angels, but I really wanted to read Farrah's and Cheryl's forward, which are great, so are the pictures that Farrah and Cheryl donated to the book. It's fun to see all the advertisements from the show and the great collectibles that were from the show. It's a great way to re-live the series and it makes you wish even more for a Charlie's Angels re-union. Hopefully Farrah will be back to her beautiful self real soon, I do wish her well and hope she feels better and stronger everyday!!! This book is a must for fans of the series!!
