Inside Section One book (ebook & audio book edition)
In a doozy of a surprise Christopher Heyn has released a 2nd edition of his out of print book "Inside Section One: Creating and Producing TV's La Femme Nikita" detailing the in-depth production of La Femme Nikita. The original edition of the book is somewhat of a holy grail for LFN fans due to its limited printing. Copies on eBay can go for several hundred dollars. It's a beautiful book, but its coffee table size makes the glue used in the binding quite unwieldy.
This second edition is geared more towards people interested in film production, so it has gone through a few edits here and there (one omission is hair stylist Roger Dalgliesh venting about how Roy Dupuis was itching for a cigarette on the flight out to Los Angeles to shoot the Herb Ritts promotional campaign and he ate all of his peanuts to compensate), but it has also been updated to make reference to today's streaming landscape and other changes to the television industry. Also, the original cover with one of the images of Peta and Roy from the Herb Ritts photoshoot has also been removed and replaced. Apparently, permission to use the image was limited only to the first edition.
The timeline at the end of the original book that details major events in the characters' lives is missing, mainly because it wouldn't be of importance to a film student, but Heyn has mentioned that he might make it available in the future for a small additional cost.
