E-Text - complete, searchable literature of all kinds

Many electronic books are available online. Most are historical works, dating back to the earliest recorded writings. Some are from this century. Few are from the relatively recent best-seller lists.

Northern Exposure Episode Guide

(This is not an e-book exzactly, but there is some interesting reading here.)

Northern Exposure was first aired in 1990 as a CBS television replacement series. It was so well-liked that it ran for 110 episodes, over 5 years. Quirky characters in an unusual northern setting, and a linear storyline that concludes in the final episode when the medical intern contracted for service to pay off his student loan returns to his beloved New York City.

This file will install a program that includes information on all the episodes of the series. There is program component for keeping additional notes.

A&E aired this series for several years after it had concluded its run on CBS. Each day an episode ran in the morning and in the afternoon, for a period of perhaps two years or more, allowing me to eventually make a tape set of all but one of the 110 episodes in order, 6 episodes per tape. Though not the best quality, they can draw me in to the story when I view them.

The setting was the fictional Cicely, Alaska, but the series was actually filmed in Roslyn, Washington, about 45 miles east of Seattle.
