Book Description

Chronicling the many special moments of the years the sitcom was in production, this amazing collection of unusual mementos creates a truly unique interactive history. Each of the 193 episodes is covered, with hundreds of photos, fun facts, and authentic, personal notes. Featuring reproductions of such never-before-seen rarities as Little Ricky’s birth certificate from “Lucy Goes to the Hospital,” a candy wrapper from “Job Switching,” and Lucy and Ethel’s sightseeing tour bus tickets from “The Tour,” you can revisit your favorite moments. Read the label on Lucy’s favorite energy drink, Vitameatavegamin, or laugh at Ricky’s frantic telegram to the Marriage License Bureau in “Hollywood Anniversary.” Historic materials and the detailed narrative of Elisabeth Edwards-longtime author and friend of the families-combine in a unique experience for the true fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, but could have been even better..., November 3, 2006

This review is from: The I Love Lucy Scrapbook (Hardcover)

I had to buy this book! It really is tremendously entertaining and a fun book for any Lucy fan to have and read. The layout is very effective, and the text is full of great inside information. One thing bothered me a little bit; the book is not quite Lucille Ball's scrapbook of I Love Lucy, nor is it the fictional Lucy Ricardo's, yet it seems to be a little bit of both. I think a more consistent viewpoint would have made the book more effective. It would have been terrific to see what Lucy Ricardo would have done to scrapbook her various adventures, wouldn't it? And Lucille Ball's scrapbook about her career is equally valid. Having said that, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it's interactive quality makes it a must-have for other Lucy fan's like myself!

All's I can say is I forgot that this book was just reproductions of the actual items and I could look at this book for hours.

This is the best addition to any I Love Lucy Collection. I was a little skeptical because there was not much info as to the contents of the book but I'm so glad I ordered it. My daughter and I are big Lucy fans and this was the best thing ever. At first my daughter thought this was just a scrapbook for her to put together but when she opened it and found out it was as if Lucy had put it together herself, she was so excited. The contents look so authentic you think you have the real thing!! Any I Love Lucy fan will love this scrapbook!
