New Leave it to Beaver Book Released; Nate Bargatze: Hello World on Prime Video on Jan. 31

Murderess Strikes Again!
When one thinks about the Leave it to Beaver, murder is not the first thing that comes to mind. The above headline was read in the newspaper by Ward Cleaver after a hard day at the office. He came home wanting to relax, but instead, reads about murder. What's a guy in Mayfield got to do to relax? For Ward, that typically involves listening to Wally and Beaver's problems at the dinner table. At least those problems are never anything so serious they can't be solved within the bounds of the twenty-five-minute length of a classic situation comedy. Well, there was that time Wally got caught up in a love triangle with an older woman and that time when the boys could have been charged with assault. But other than that, the boys' problems are usually mighty tame. And even those more serious problems were solved just before the closing credits began to roll.
The World Famous Beaverpedia and the TV show Leave it to Beaver can help readers and viewers escape from dwelling on crime, politics or a bad break up. Fans of Leave it to Beaver and classic TV will be able to dive into the pages of The World Famous Beaverpedia, watch a few episodes of the sitcom, dive back into the book, and probably succeed in escaping any problem they face. You will find within the almost 500 pages (and full size length 8.5 x 11" pages), chapters that cover Eddie Haskell's compliments and insults, Ward's occupation, everything about Mayfield, all the girls that Beaver hates and Wally likes, pop culture references, the Cleaver homes, what happens when the boys are left alone, and even a slang dictionary. This list is a small sample of what you will find inside The World Famous Beaverpedia. There is also an episode guide and biographies of every actor who appeared in all six seasons. A detailed index will also help anyone wanting to use this book as a reference work. To learn more about the book and read excerpts, please visit leaveittobeaverbooks.com.
It's nice to see a new and more detailed Leave it to Beaver book released. It sounds like the perfect Christmas gift for the Leave it to Beaver fan. Purchase The World Famous Beaverpedia on Amazon.com.
