C L A U D E 2,005 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 The books I look forward to is the one by Life and Michael Stern. I liked I LOved Lucy by Lee because I like books that deal with Lucy's later years. It seems a lot of books only cover before or especially during I Love Lucy but pass the rest of her life (29 years) like it was nothing. That's certainly the case, however i fear little Mikey's book may be more about Michael than it will be about Lucy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Hepburn 86 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 Robbie, thanks so much for telling us about this book & where to find it. The first B&N store I went to had none, the second one had over a dozen. As you said, the pictures are wonderful & many are rare. There are so many of her in her twenties that I've never seen before. Thanks again for the heads up! No problem! Its exciting to see so many books will be coming out this summer/fall. The only one I'm not too anxious for is the book by Life. If its anything like the tribute books they've released before (ie. the Katharine Hepburn book), it'll be sparse text with pictures we've seen many, many time before.

What would really be cool is if they compiled all the articles they wrote about Lucy (complete with photos as they appeared in the magazineine) into one handy volume!

Speaking of LIFE, i've been thinking of trying to find my copy of the LOOK article on Lucy, one of the best i ever read on her, in many of her own words, her losing a bundle in the stock market and so on . . .

I would love that, but I wouldn't get too hopeful. If I remember correctly, the Kate book has maybe 2 or 3 pictures of her and Spencer, which seemed a tad silly considering. But lets keep our fingers crossed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luvsbway 2,261 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 Anyone pick up Lucille Ball Treasures. Seems to be only at Barnes and Noble. You can find it online or in the Bargin section in the store. It's similar to the scrapbooks in that it has reproductions of memorablia but not laid out the same. I picked it up over lunch but didn't get a change to read it yet. found here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love Lucy's autobiography because in her own words she spoke/wrote down what she thought was important for people to know about her. I love articles that come after the time period in that book because it is interesting to read Lucy's own words. I love the Ford Times article about her trip to New England; but I do not have the Look magazine you mentioned. Which one is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forget if it's from the mid seventies, she's on the cover looking like she's going nuts getting tuned out of a tv or something like that, just a great and quite lenghty article.

I got the book last week and there's actually surprisingly little memorabilia in the book. It's really more of a straight biography with lots and lots of nice pictures.

I'm hoping to SEE it if/when I walk into my local Barnes & "that's what I get for being nobble"! If you look at the Amazon listing. Amazon isn't selling the book, it's from one of it's marketplace dealers; so I think the book is probably a B&N exclusive and the marketplace seller is hoping to take advantage of someone who doesn't use B&N (same thing happened with B&N's Madonna book).

vivfantoo* 129 Report post Posted February 23, 2011 LuvsBway, thanks so much for mentioning the book, "Lucille Ball Treasures" by Cindy De La Haz & where to find it! I stopped in B&N just to look for this & found it in the bargain section as you said. It is one I think all Lucy fans would love, & I haven't even read it yet! Lots of print, pictures, & scrapbook pieces in envelopes. Very nicely done. It was $24.98 -- not a bargain price, in my opinion -- but I think worth the price, so I won't quibble about it being placed in the bargain section Chapters: The Girl from Jamestown Kid Millions The Queen B - and her King Best Foot Forward The Birth of Lucy Everybody Loves Lucy Desilu Rising Solo in the Spotlight Twilight of a Star Dedications, Acknowledgments & About the Author Image Credits Imagine my surprise (& delight ) to find a second Lucy book right next to that one! It is called, "Lucy: A Life in Pictures" by Tim Frew. Rather slim at 96 pages, & only a handful of color photos, but more appropriately priced at $6.98. Most of the print refers to the pictures, & there are only 4 chapters (Lucy Behind the Scenes, Lucy in the Movies, I Love Lucy, The Later Years). I really love how we all let each other know about Lucy books & products we find! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C L A U D E 2,005 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 So, you guys are saying i cannot get Lucy Treasures from Amazon as it's a Barnes and Noble exclusive? Then again, i might not be able to get it at all, i had to get GAS this morning and spent my next two paychecks to fill the tank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
