5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, but a pleasure to own; nicely presented, October 12, 2002

This review is from: Discoveries: Charlie Chaplin (Discoveries (Harry Abrams)) (Paperback)

Often books written about popular film celebrities are thinly
disguised means of making a buck by publishers
who contract people to write a story about a
subject they so obviously care little about.
But this title is a wonderful appreciation of Chaplin by someone
who appears to at least be a fan.

The small but attractive book is packed with b/w
photos and anecdotes that span Chaplin's entire
career; printed on thick glossy paper and beautifully
designed, it is not the usual slapdash mass market
pulp cheapo that will crumble to dust
in six months. This is a permanent little gem
that will sit very well on the shelf next to a more
text-heavy volume such as Chaplin's autobiography.
There is enough story here though to give anyone
with an interest a basic outline of Charlie's whole life.
Highly recommended.

I really love Charlie Chaplin, he is a great actor. I got this book because it was small and I wanted to see more pictures of Chaplin and this book has just that. If your a big Chaplin fan like I am get this book.

The Book suffers lack of detail on Charlie Chaplin's movies. The book does not really have that much text to read.The only thing there is is pictures
