collectors and completists only
This product, as another reviewer has said, is a somewhat short audio cassette which includes actual clips from the TV series of Cooper's personal recorder entries, along with a few additional recordings made for this release by Kyle McLaughlin in character. Unfortunately they are from only the short first season of the show. But for any Twin Peaks collector or completist, this at least is an official tie-in product.

I believe one of the previous reviewers meant to comment on the book The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes by Scott Frost [one of the writers from the show], which is not the same as this product.

The book - if you can find a copy - is a witty and entertaining companion to the series. It covers Cooper's life from childhood [and his first audio recorder] through his FBI career [including the tragedies surrounding his partner Windom Earle], and finally ends where the TV series begins. It also manages to do what the cassette does not, which is to offer more insight and exploration into Cooper's character beyond what we already see in the show.

This, along with The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (A Twin Peaks Book) by Jennifer Lynch and the faux travelguide: Twin Peaks: An Access Guide to the Town by David Lynch and Mark Frost, completes a set of official book companions to the series.

One last note: as with "The Secret Diary..." there are a few inconsistencies between the description of some events in the books versus the TV series and the film prequel "Fire Walk With Me", but not enough to detract from the book's value overall.

Excerpt from the series
This tape is a collection of 40 audio excerpts from the TV series of Agent Cooper talking to Diane in his audio recorder. This is not a book, nor an audiobook. If you've seen the series, you've heard much of it already
