One of my favorite things to find are props that were carried over from the Pilot Episode to the regular season of Twin Peaks. Thanks to the help of fellow Bookhouse Boy Jason McMahan, I recently picked up a replica of the Con-way Central Express (CCX) Miles Ahead mug that is seen both in the Pilot…

In Twin Peaks Season 2, we are introduced to Harold Smith, a kind soul who captures fellow residents’ stories as part of his living novel.
