The Emmy Award-winning producer of PBS’s Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! reveals the secrets to Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and its other hit programs For more than twenty-five years and counting, Rebecca Eaton has presided over PBS’s Masterpiece Theatre, the longest running weekly prime time drama series in American history. From the runaway hits Upstairs, Downstairs and The Buccaneers, to the hugely popular Inspector Morse, Prime Suspect, and Poirot, Masterpiece Theatre and its sibling series Mystery! have been required viewing for fans of quality drama. Eaton interviews many of the writers, directors, producers, and other contributors and shares personal anecdotes—including photos taken with her own camera—about her decades-spanning career. She reveals what went on behind the scenes during such triumphs as Cranford and the multiple, highly-rated programs made from Jane Austen’s novels, as well as her aggressive campaign to attract younger viewers via social media and online streaming. Along the way she shares stories about actors and other luminaries such as Alistair Cooke, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Benedict Cumberbatch and Daniel Radcliffe, whose first TV role was as the title character in David Copperfield. Readers will also get to know Eaton on a personal level. With a childhood steeped in theater, an affinity for nineteenth century novels and culture, and an “accidental apprenticeship” with the BBC, Eaton was practically born to lead the Masterpiece and Mystery! franchises. Making Masterpiece marks the first time the driving force behind the enduring flagship show reveals all.
The definitive story of the making of 2001: A Space Odyssey, acclaimed today as one of the greatest films ever made, and of director Stanley Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke—“a tremendous explication of a tremendous film….Breathtaking” (TheWashington Post). Fifty years ago a strikingly original film had its premiere. Still acclaimed as one of the most remarkable and important motion pictures ever made, 2001: A Space Odyssey depicted the first contacts between humanity and extraterrestrial intelligence. The movie was the product of a singular collaboration between Stanley Kubrick and science fiction visionary Arthur C. Clarke. Fresh off the success of his cold war satire Dr. Strangelove, Kubrick wanted to make the first truly first-rate science fiction film. Drawing from Clarke’s ideas and with one of the author’s short stories as the initial inspiration, their bold vision benefited from pioneering special effects that still look extraordinary today, even in an age of computer-generated images. In Space Odyssey, author, artist, and award-winning filmmaker Michael Benson “delivers expert inside stuff” (San Francisco Chronicle) from his extensive research of Kubrick’s and Clarke’s archives. He has had the cooperation of Kubrick’s widow, Christiane, and interviewed most of the key people still alive who worked on the film. Drawing also from other previously unpublished interviews, Space Odyssey provides a 360-degree view of the film from its genesis to its legacy, including many previously untold stories. And it features dozens of photos from the making of the film, most never previously published. “At last! The dense, intense, detailed, and authoritative saga of the making of the greatest motion picture I’ve ever seen…Michael Benson has done the Cosmos a great service” (Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks).

Ron Smith. Husband, friend, teacher, philosopher, artist, Master Engraver and author of the much acclaimed book, Advanced Drawing of Scrolls.Ron brings all of these elements together in his final book The Making of a Masterpiece as he describes how his life's work and experiences culminates in his masterpiece, a fully restored and embellished 1873 Winchester.We often think of art as a painting hanging in a gallery. But art has many canvases and in the engraving world, firearms are seen as the pinnacle of surfaces to work on.To the engraving artist, firearms offer many challenges. They are a collection of highly complex shapes and parts to work on that come together to make a complete unit. The steel is hard and requires special skills, techniques and tools to cut and finish. Then, once it is reassembled, the firearm still has to function and do its intended job.It's easy, as a viewer, to look at an artist's work and see the final product without giving much thought to the hundreds of hours of thinking, planning, skill, technique, frustration and sometimes tears, that go into creating a work of art.The Making of a Masterpiece details the process from start to finish in 88 pages of text and gives the reader an over the shoulder view in more than 130 detailed photographs of how Ron Smith accomplishes his masterpiece. More importantly, it gives you a very intimate insight of how he became one of the most highly skilled and respected Master Engravers in America.In this day and age of computers and digital technology, it is a refreshing step into the past and be reminded of the "old school" techniques that Ron still employs in his work. They may be quaint to the younger novice engraver, but make no mistake, although the techniques and tools may be slightly different, the process is exactly the same.The Making of a Masterpiece is a book that every engraver and collector should have on their bookshelves.
