You don't have to decide whether you prefer the books or the tv show about the Botswana lady detective -- you get both in this package.

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency celebrates Botswana, "the finest place on God's Earth."  In his final directorial effort, Anthony Minghella joins forces with producer/co-writer Richard Curtis for the pilot, in which Precious Ramotswe (Grammy-winning singer Jill Scott) makes her debut. After her father dies, Mma Ramotswe sells his cows and opens an agency, because she "wants to do good." So, the "traditionally built woman" (in the words of Anthony McCall Smith, who wrote nine books about her) leases the old Gabarone post office, hires hyper-efficient secretary Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose, Dreamgirls), and gets down to business. 

The DVD features the entire first season of the HBO series starring Jill Scott, plus the trade paperback, plus the sturdy magnifying glass - with the title engraved on the handle. Take a trip to Botswana with this set -- just by placing a bid!
