C-SPAN commemorated the first five years of its Sunday evening book program, Booknotes. Included were interviews with staff members involved with all aspects of the program including the host, Brian Lamb. Throughout the program, video clips from many past programs were shown, as was a parody of the program produced by a cable access channel. Booknotes is a weekly one-hour interview program in which an author of a recent nonfiction hardback book talks about his or her life, background, and how and why the book was written.
