Twin Peaks: An Access Guide to the Town is a nice volume for fans of the series. David Lynch presents it as if it were a real travel guide that a small town in the late 1980s/early 1990s might use to promote itself. It features an examination of the fictional town's history, wildlife, flora, diners, culture, and more including several fake advertisements and phone numbers for "local" businesses and more. Despite the little vignettes, this doesn't have a plot and serves as a companion to the television series. It will appeal to fans, but will baffle those who haven't watched David Lynch and Mark Frost's show.

This travel guide is great for fans of the early 90s TV show Twin Peaks. If you lived in the fictional world of the show (heaven help you) then you would pick up this book to read if you were contemplating visiting or moving to Twin Peaks. Agent Cooper would have loved to have this handy guide, but unfortunately for him it was published after his brief stay in town. Not only does the guide give a brief overview of wildlife and community events, but it also shares a bit on the main players both past and present in Twin Peaks’ history.
