I have the book. Unfortunately it is nowhere near as detailed about the episodes as Barry Williams' book Growing Up Brady.

Supposedly Mr. Mathers has another book out there ...:lookaroun

I got it from the library and read it quite awhile ago but it didn't have as much info on the show as I thought it would. I enjoyed "The World According to Beaver" much better.

Another good book is called "The Beaver Papers." It has LITB television scripts in it as if written by famous writers such as Rod Serling, Tennessee Williams, Jack Kerouac, etc.
It is very funny!!!

Just wondering...is it mostly positive, or does he have some hard-feelings about those years he spent with the show?

I remember it as being very positive.

I read Frank Bank's book awhile back. Towards the beginning, he talks about Mathers, Dow and himself visiting the set of Marlon Brando's movie which was filming nearby the LITB set. When Brando saw them, he ordered them out. Tony Dow tells Brando off using the "f" word and they leave. A little stronger than creep or dope! The book is mostly based on Bank's life,,,,but does has some interesting anecdotes about the show and other characters.
