C L A U D E Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. That's so funny that you got two copies! I hope you're not going to pull a MORTON on him and send him a bill for the second, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Another stellar review, this time from the site Cinema Sentries: "For fans of the iconic performer, there is simply no better source for everything Lucy."

Hard to disagree there! Absolutely true, the best Lucy reference book ever as it surpasses The Lucy Book as his comments are F A I R and A C C U R A T E !

Best Lucy reference book ever with not a flaw in sight. Complete and accurate, detailed and factual in every detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magster Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hey, Harry (or should I say Mr. Sheridan?)! I just wanted to let you know how absolutely, marvelously TERRIFIC your book is! I picked it up when I was in Jamestown this summer and devoured it from cover to cover! It's quickly become one of my new favorites. I love how you titled the chapters, too. The effort, expertise, and love you put into "Lucille Ball FAQ" is obvious, and I just want you to know it's wonderful. Congratulations, you deserve all of these great reviews!!

Mister Hepburn Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 This book is an addiction. I take it everywhere and sometimes even read passages while sitting in the car, waiting for a light to change. The only thing I've noticed is that Greta Garbo is missing in the section on referenced celebrities. I know she's mentioned at least once, in "The Dancing Star," but it seems like she may be mentioned a time or two elsewhere (and perhaps in TLS or HL). Not a complaint/jab, just an observation. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 And that's what I get for only looking in the index, my apologies! To make sure the index wasn't longer than the book itself, I did not list the people listed in the pop culture references unless they were mentioned elsewhere in the book.

All Lucy reference books look so BLAH by comparison to this gem of yours. When's part deux coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I meant the average man on the street, you know, the ones who don't even know who the Vice President is, or that I Love Lucy is a famous television show.

You know, REGULAR PEOPLE, "N O T" like you and me. Maybe that's the point of giving Tallulah a card? You can't see much of it in the picture, but it kinda looks like it might be a mini-bio or something similar. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
