Video Resource: A Massive Treasure Chest of Author Interviews (1988-2004)
It's likely that some of you remember the C-SPAN series, Booknotes that aired on C-SPAN from 1988-2004. For one hour each Sunday C-SPAN Founder, Brian Lamm, would sit down for a one-on-one interview with an author of a new non-fiction title.
While some archived programs have been available for years, the C-SPAN Video Libray now provides access to every program in the series.
A search for "World Almanac" (any field) and Booknotes (program title) provides zero results using the advanced search page. However, using a basic search box and entering ["World Almanac" booknotes] provides a 1999 Booknotes interview with the editor of The World Almanac.
Of course, no method is guaranteed. The next search might not work the same way. Be ready. willing and able to use both methods to make sure you're not missing what your hoping to find.
