Paperback version of same. Some new material, plus the front and back covers are different photos. Worth the price. |
| "Some Joe You Don't Know: An American Biographical

| "Secret Lives" J. Sachs & P. Morgan,1991, Black Pub. Ltd., London ISBN: 0-905846-95-8 |
This is a collection of structured interviews with three dozen, mostly British, television stars. Besides an excellent four-page visit with Wendy, there are other good features on Rowan Atkinson, Anthea Turner, John Cleese, and many others -- including, inexplicably, a rather unpleasant article on non-Brit Roseanne Barr. |
| "Are You Being Served?" A. Rigelsford, et al.,1995, KQED Books, San Francisco ISBN: 0-912333-23-5 |
Three-page biographical article, some quotes, and color and B&W pictures, all of Shirley from the AYBS? series or movie. |
| EastEnders: The Inside Story J. Smith & T. Holland, 1987, BBC Books, London ISBN: 0-563-20601-2 |
Some interesting paragraphs on how Wendy got chosen for EastEnders and how Pauline came to be. A number of group and solo pictures of her; a couple are excellent. |
| Who Does She Think She Is? M. McCutcheon, 2000, Century (Random House), London ISBN: 0-7126-6989-2 |
One illuminating paragraph with McCutcheon's take on Wendy. Also has a very interesting look at the work on EastEnders from a "newbie's" point of view. But note: much adult language and situations. |
| Real Soap: EastEnders K. Sinotok, 1999, Generation Publications Ltd, London ISBN: 1-903009-04-9 |
A two-page spread about Wendy and her alter-ego Pauline in a gossipy (though not too unkind) manner. Only two color EE group publicity pictures. |

Comedy G. Koseluk, 2000, McFarland & Co., Jefferson, N. Carolina ISBN: 0-786-40805-7 |

| EastEnders Handbook H. Kingsley, 1991, BBC Books, London ISBN: 0-563-36292-8 |
Some pretty good on-the-set shots of Wendy as Pauline; a few tidbits of dated bio info; that's about it. |
| "TV Times Who's Who on Television" P. Genower, Ed., 2000, Boxtree Books, London ISBN: 0-7522-1821-2 |
Brief and clearly incomplete career listing. |
| "Who's Who on Television: The Fully Illustrated
Guide to the Stars of the Small Screen" A. Hayward, 1994 ISBN: 1-85283-936-8 |
Even briefer and even less complete career listing. |

(2nd Ed.) B. Pertwee, 1997, Pavilion Books Ltd., London ISBN: 1-86205-176-3 |
A short biographical write-up about Wendy and the roles she played on the series. Very handsome color photo. |
| "The Eastenders Programme Guide" J. Munroe, 1994, Virgin Books, London ISBN: 0-86369-825-5 |
Very brief biographical sketch. Also one of Wendy's EastEnders character of Pauline. |
| "The Guinness
Television Encyclopedia" J. Evans, ed., 1995, Guinness World Records Ltd ISBN: 0-85112-744-4 |
Very concise sketch of Wendy's professional accomplishments, though nothing about her personal life. |
| "The Eastenders Programme Guide" J. Munroe, 1994, Virgin Books, London ISBN: 0-86369-825-5 |
Very brief biographical sketch. Also one of Wendy's EastEnders character of Pauline. |
| "Celebrity Pets" C. McClennan, 1995, Holrock Books, Paignton, Devon ISBN: 0-9526944-0-9 |
One B&W photo of Wendy from set of Grace & Favour; a cute two-page section about the origin and antics of her Wheaten Cairn Terrier. |
| "Eastenders: The First 10 Years" C. Brake, 1994, BBC Books, London ISBN: 0-563-37057-2 |

| A Knight on the Box: Forty Years of Anglia
Television T. Walshe, C. Bevan, et al., 1999, Anglia Television Ltd., Norwich ISBN: 0-906836-40-8 |
A brief mention and photo of Wendy in regard to her role in the Anglia series Weaver's Green (actually, word for word what's on the Anglia website). |
| "British Television: An Illustrated Guide" 2nd Ed., T. Vahimagi, 1996, Oxford Uni. Press, Oxford ISBN: 0-19-815926-2 |
Useful background info about many of Wendy's early and lesser-known series. Nothing about her specifically. |
| "EastEnders Special" Auth. Edition, 1986, Grandreams Ltd., London ISBN: 0-86227-384-6 |
No text data, but has five color EE publicity photos of Pauline / Wendy, including one full-page pic. |
| "EastEnders Knitting Collection" 1986, Northern Publishers and Designers, Ltd. |
Two rather nice color photos of Wendy; thumbnail character sketch of Pauline. |
| "EastEnders: 20 Years in Albert Square" 2005, BBC Books, London ISBN: 0-563-52165-1 |
A stellar volume on the history and people of this British soap opera phenomenon. Weighted perhaps a little too much toward the fictional denizens of the Square rather than the very real, hard-working actors who bring them to life -- still, a must-have tome for the EE fan. Wendy has written the book's foreword -- and receives prominent mention of such on the cover. There's a couple of excellent portraits of her, not to mention a handful of other in-character shots scattered throughout. |
| "The Complete Beatles Chronicle" 2000 (paperback), Hamlyn, London ISBN: 0-600-60033-5 |
Brief details about Wendy's participation in shooting the Beatles' movie Help. But well worth getting this book anyway simply for the lavish information about the golden years of the Fab Four. |
| "The Illustrated
history of Pop" P. Flattery, 1973, Wise Publications - Music Sales Ltd., London ISBN: none |
A book special issued by Music Sales magazine, this publication is a very good review of the pop music scene of the 1950s and -60s. A paragraph or so about Wendy in context of her teaming with Mike Sarne. A nice pic, too. |
| "KISS Guide to Living
With A Dog" B. Fogle, 2000, Dorling Kindersley Ltd., London ISBN: 07513-2723-9 |
The foreword of this dog care book was written by Wendy, and provides some humorous, and serious, insights into what having a dog means to her personally. |
| "Homestead Food For Thought" Willo Ward, 1997, The Friends of St. Luke's, Dublin ISBN: 0-9531959-0-2 |
In support of charity, this book contains many recipes from mostly Irish and British celebrities, journalists, and politicians. Wendy's offering is a scrumptious cheesecake formula. |
| "Pot Luck" 1995, Kyle Cathie Limited, London ISBN: 1-85626-184-0 |
One of the recipes herein was provided by Wendy for this charity cookbook, but nothing further from or about her. Great cover photograph of Kiri Te Kanawa, though. |
| "Star Turns in the
Kitchen" A. Hunter, 1999, Guild Publishing, London no ISBN |
A charity edition too, this contains a recipe submitted by Wendy, as well as a few cooking-related comments. |
| "QMC Education Base Celebrity Cook Book" 1999?, Colourstream Litho Limited, Derby no ISBN |
Again, one recipe submitted by Wendy for this charity edition, and her circa-1993 publicity photo, but nothing further. An excellently designed publication. |
| "Celebrity Cook Book" 1994?, publisher unknown, London no ISBN |
This cook book was produced "in aid of the building fund for the Church of St. Francis of Assisi", in Kew, Southport. The recipe submitted by Wendy was her chocolate chilli. No other info or comment. |

No text data, but has one small EE publicity photo of Pauline / Wendy. |
| "Listen Very Carefully, I Shall Say This Only
Once..." J. Lloyd, 1993, BBC Books, London ISBN: 0-563-36203-0 |
One passing reference to Wendy, but nothing in depth. One small B&W publicity photo of the AYBS? cast, from about '75 or '76. |
| "Carry On Laughing: A Celebration" A. Rigelsford, 1996, Virgin Publishing Ltd., London ISBN: 0-7535-0006-X |
Very little about Wendy. One not-very-good B&W group photo. |
| "West Country Tales: Stories of Mystery and
Suspense" 1981, Webb & Bower (Publishers) Ltd., Exeter ISBN: 0-906671-65-5 |
A collection of the stories which appeared on the BBC TV series of this name; an interesting introduction by one of the producers on how the show came to be. Nothing specifically about Wendy. |
| "The Are You Being Served?
Stories" J. Lloyd, 1997, KQED Books, San Francisco ISBN: 0-912333-02-2 |
Novelized stories involving Shirley Brahms. A couple of small photos of Shirley from the AYBS? series. |
