Soap Opera encyclopedia

[Soap archives]

Hello all several years ago I was able to get Soap Opera Encyclopedia by Christopher Sheming. However, It only went to 1985 Since then I assume they is an updated version by someone else that goes until 1997 since it has same name.

I do have the 1985 version but do not have the 1997 one. I really enjoyed the 1985 book.. Had lots of shows I unaware of. Lately have been thinking about getting the 1997 one.

What your thoughts? Do any of you have books like this about all soap opera in your country?

I have a great book called Super Aussie Soaps, which chronologically profiles all Australian soaps from the birth of Australian TV up until the early 00’s. It covers a good mix of behind the scenes info and storylines onscreen.

I have both those books. The 1997 book by Gerard J. Waggett is not an update of the 1985 book. It is a different book that covers only daytime soaps.
