Part one is movies into books. Part two is books into movies. This list has quite a few missing items. I have a partial list of short stories which were filmed, but it's so incomplete that I haven't posted it here.
Tie-in novels from TV series are not included unless they are taken from specific television episodes. See multi-author series index for those titles which are original stories based on television series.
