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.

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

To short for its own good, December 8, 2002
This review is from: Discoveries: Charlie Chaplin (Discoveries (Harry Abrams)) (Paperback)
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
