makewayforducklings Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've seen that back in 1962 or Whitman had book titled "Lucy and the Madcap Mystery. based on the characters from the Lucy Show. Looks like Whitman did alot of ties for tv shows and tv characters: Lassie, Gilligan's Island,.The Waltons, etc. Just wondering if anyone has a copy or read the book?

Brock Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 This was one of the first Lucy collectibles I ever found -- and it is a pretty fun read! (It's a pretty standard story, however, that could have been adapted to any TV tie-in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's a pretty standard story, however, that could have been adapted to any TV tie-in) Found a (very worn) copy at a used book sale a few years ago. Obviously meant for younger readers, but still fun to read. I also have a Beverly Hillbillies book from the same series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I too got this very early in my collecting. Found it at an antique store at the Farmers Market in LA. My is in pretty good condition but when I bought it. It came shrink wrapped. I've never taken it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyilove Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 These Whitman tv-tie ins apparently sold tons of books and were a running series for years, I think from the late 50's to early 70's, most of them are easy to find and usually not that expensive, you can find them on ebay, abebooks.com, Amazon, etc. I used to see the Beverly Hillbillies edition sometimes at The Salvation Army or other charity shops super cheap back in the 1990's, must have sold a ton. Took me awhile but finally got the Lucy about ten years ago at a library book sale (books donated by the public), in gorgeous condition for all of a buck!! There were several tv shows novelized in this series from Annie Oakley to Dragnet to The Munsters to The Big Valley to The Mod Squad. I think there was also Bewitched, Bonanza, etc. plus multiple books of Lassie. But to answer you're question - no, I've never read it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
