3.0 out of 5 stars
Great for research...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Carole Lombard: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in the Performing Arts) (Hardcover)
... but I'm afraid the overall content & quality did not not justify the high price - and I'm someone who usually eats up anything Lombard, regardless of cost. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad to have this in my collection, but the biography section did not reveal anything new and priced at 50 dollars, I guess I expected the quality & content to be better. The layout, paper and typeface are atrocious. Still, I'm giving it three stars because it is well-written and frankly, I would not deter anyone from learning more about an actress who was not only an icon of the Golden Age of Hollywood, but also a wonderful human being.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Many points of interest; heavy dependence on fan magazines,
By A Customer
This review is from: Carole Lombard: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in the Performing Arts) (Hardcover)
Some rare photos, plus this book contains the CAB report on Lombard's 1942 plane crash ~ interesting. Matzen relies heavily on contemporary fan magazine articles profiling Lombard, which do her a disservice of sorts, since they more than likely originated with publicity handouts from the studio or her press agent. Filmography is quite thorough. Overall, an intriguing addition to the library of any Lombard enthusiast. (Beware the typesetters' chosen font -- VERY tough on the eyes!)
