This classic celebration of the "Leave It to Beaver" show, written over 15 years ago by Irwyn Applebaum (now head of Bantam Books) is being brought back into print by TV Books and Universal Studios this spring. "The World According to Beaver" is an in-depth episode guide and appreciation of the meaning and the impact of "The Beav" on a generation of baby boomers and accompanies the show's daily slot in Nickelodeon's "Nick at Night" programming and the major motion picture from MCA/Universal. The illustrated book features an introduction by Jerry Mathers, the actor who charmed millions as "The Beav".
