1) Paperback Book Degrassi Generations: The Official 411 by Pocket. I thought this was just going to be a piddly little book, but it was a really nice quality. It´s got nice, thick, glossy pages and tons of photos. It has all sorts of inside information. Definitely worth the money.¤

2) Paperback Book Degrassi Generations: The Official 411 by Pocket. Degrassi: The Kids of Degrassi Street Series, Degrassi Junior High - The Complete Collection, Degrassi High Collection (14 Volume Set), Degrassi The Next Generation - Season 1. If you haven´t heard of any of these television shows, then you don´t know what you´re missing! What began in 1979 as a brainstorm of Kit Hood and Linda Schuyler quickly became one of the most innovative, entertaining, and envelope-pushing shows of the eighties and early nineties.

The Degrassi shows can best be described as teen soap operas, although they´re so much more than that. These shows, set in Canada and originally based on a group of kids who lived on Degrassi Street in Toronto, Ontario, brought new meaning to the term "teen drama." Thankfully, Degrassi Junior High - The Complete Collection and Degrassi The Next Generation - Season 1 are now on DVD, so if you missed it the first time around you can catch up with all of us who are devoted fans.

Kathryn Ellis has created the premiere reference guide for all things Degrassi with this book. With photos and detailed biographies of all the characters in each of the four shows, set designs, guest stars, and even an episode-by-episode synopsis, no fan wants to be without this book. Ms. Ellis hasn´t forgotten the stand-alone supplement movie, School´s Out!, either. She also covers makeup, hair, and wardrobe, the music of the shows, the numerous bands of the characters, and the hard-hitting issues that Degrassi took on throughout the years.

This is a book all Degrassi lovers must have for their collection. And if you haven´t yet discovered this Canadian gem, I urge you to pick up a few DVDs to get the ball rolling. I promise, you won´t be disappointed!

3) Paperback Book Degrassi Generations: The Official 411 by Pocket. For those who are fans of DeGrassi: The Next Generation ... this was one to watch to understand how some of the story lines blended together. Joey and Caitlin break up for the final time (sort of) before starting all over again as adults a decade later. For those of you who believe you never get over your first love ... the Joey and Caitlin drama seems to follow that thinking pattern. The first series ended in 1991 after several years in production and was revived in late 2001. The very first episode was the DeGrassi 10th anniversary reunion and the reconnection of Joey and Caitlin. It´s almost like a Canadian version of Casablanca when Joey meets Caitlin at the airport and she gets off the plane ...

Joey: Caitlin. All those years ago, when I broke your heart, I thought I´d lost you forever.
Caitlin: And, yet-here you are, standing in an airport with me on Christmas...

I guess for these two it is a case of "We´ll always have Toronto. We´ll always have DeGrassi" ... Kind of makes you want to watch The Notebook.
