TWIN PEAKS ACCESS GUIDE TO BE PUBLISHED SOON
Richard Saul Wurman, author of the well-known city access guides to London, Paris,
Rome, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Hawaii, Washington D.C. and Tokyo, was
in town last week researching his next Access book, The Twin Peaks Access Guide.
Contributing writers will include David Lynch, Mark Frost, Bob Engels, Harley Peyton,
Tricia Brock, Greg Almquest and Ken Scherer, among others.
Available in bookstores in April, The Guide will include the history of the town and
its landmarks as well as advice on how to dress while visiting Twin Peaks. Details
on flora and fauna, sports, local recipes and restaurants will prove useful if you're
new in town. Interviews, ads, trivia and intricate maps are also featured.
Although Twin Peaks is a smaller town than other "accessed" cities, Mr. Wurman was
quick to see its need for guidance and to fill it.
The closer one gets to Twin Peaks, it is interesting to note, the more expanded it
becomes. It actually gets larger. Therefore, by the time you reach the city limits,
a map is useful.
To get the most from an unknown city, and the Unknown in general, using an access guide
can save a lot of time and trouble. Whether it's vertical New York, horizontal LA., or
multidimensional Twin Peaks, an access guide will help a traveler feel at home. Many
travelers have experienced that days, weeks, or lifetimes can be lost if one takes too
many wrong turns. Retracing and doublebacking can be complex, and Mr. Wurman is man who
likes to make thing simple.
In his own life, he says, simplicity increased when he stopped doing things he doesn't
like to do. He doesn't write personal checks, won't fill out forms, cuts his own hair,
stays away from doctors and refuses to talk to lawyers. And he loves to help others
simplify their own lives by designing tools that help them to do it.
For the Twin Peaks traveler, The Twin Peaks Access Guide can simplify and enhance trips
to the library or lake or perhaps even places where more obviously something is different,
like the woods.

Letters To The Editors
Dear Editors:
I would like to see better coverage in your paper of the private lives of the stars
and makers of Twin Peaks. Especially the actresses, and in particular, Madchen Amick
- perhaps focusing on her wardrobe - with emphasis on her footwear. Does she like to
walk barefoot, does she wear socks? Are any of her shoes worn on the show for sale?
Just wondering.
Scott

We would too, Scott. Finding out the details of private lives of television and
movie actors is somewhat of a national obsession, and it sounds like you've got a
pretty good one going there for yourself.
Dear Editors:
Where can I get a Twin Peaks Gazette T-Shirt? I've just returned home to Alaska with
my husband and kids from a car trip around the States, and we saw people wearing them
coast to coast! They must be the cutting edge of fashion, and that's where I like to
keep my family. We also saw a lot of those Simpson T-shirts, but I feel wearing
cartoons is rather sophomoric. I would also like an autographed photo of Dr. Jacoby.
He really flips my skirt. Thank you.

Gazette T-shirts are available through Horne's Department Store. As for the ones you
have already seen, either they were bootlegged or you had a vision on I-90. Happens.

Dear Twin Peaks Gazette,
Just a note of appreciation for the Twin Peaks programme. I cannot recall when a
television series has created such interest here. Not only amongst the public at
large (I read that the premier set a new record for British viewership) but within
our entire family. Indeed, even Sigfreid, our aged toy dachshund (the poor old fellow
has such a sway back the vet fixed a wheel to his middle to forestall abrasion) sits
up and takes notice of the robin in the beginning of each episode. In summary, all of
us are delighted and intrigued, especially by some of the more obscure Americanisms!

"SUDDENLY I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING"
A local man found more than nuts and berries on his walk through the woods near
Twin Peaks yesterday.
Chuck Tules told the Gazette today that he found, suddenly, that he understood
everything, including the future of the world, the subtle structure of the universe,
and the purpose of mankind.
The revelation started, he said, when he was taking a nature walk and came upon a
small clearing and found himself face to face with a twelve-foot moose.
"Of course, a moose can't talk, but he spoke to me without speaking, told me to tell
the paper certain things, even if it risked my reputation as a sane person and
responsible librarian. So here I am," he said matter-of-factly yesterday morning at the
Gazette office.
Mr. Tules, a familiar figure at the Twin Peaks Main Library, has no history of mental or
drug problems, has never joined a cult or had any particular interest in philosophy or
parapsychology. He describes himself as a
Western larch larix occidental
