Fringe: September's Notebook-The Bishop Paradox


Few TV shows have managed to capture the strange, unusual and unexplained as does Fringe.  It's too bad the show is winding down and will soon be off the air.


Fringe fans are fanatics and if you've ever watched the show you'll understand why.


Events are in a constant stat of flux and never are what they seem.


The show's characters are interesting, complex and multi-layered-even the crazy ones-or are they?


Insight Editions presents Fringe: September's Notebook-The Bishop Paradox that is every bit as quirky, strange and unexpected as the TV show.


First, let's talk about the book itself.  The cover looks like a well-worn journal wrapped in a spot-varnished paper ribbon.  Insides sections are designated and organized by file folder tabs and riddled with scribbled notes, strange inserts, photos, diagrams, official documentation, sealed envelopes and various bits and pieces of bric-a-brac.


Recurring character Walter Bishop has been keeping a notebook that contains all of his observations, notes, photos, art and other pivotal documents and Fringe: September's Notebook-The Bishop Paradox is an exact duplicate of that notebook.


Published to coincide with the show's episode "The Boy Must Live" the book offered fans the opportunity to follow along with the show's characters as they delve into the mysteries of an alternate universe that culminates into the show's final episode during its fifth season.


Beautifully crafted and executed the Fringe book is a MUST have for any fan of the TV series.  It is a real stunner and contains a plethora of information as compiled by Tara Bennett and Paul Terry.
