5.0 out of 5 stars
The Ultimate Summation of the Legendary Wit, March 16, 1999
This review is from: Robert Benchley: An Annotated Bibliography (Bibliographies and Indexes in Popular Culture) (Hardcover)
This book is a brilliant summation of the work of one of America's premier humorists, Robert Benchley. Along with succinct and well-balanced biographical information, this (beautifully bound!) book presents an account of the wide variety of Benchley's publications, enabling the reader to pursue both familiar and obscure gems from his oeuvre. No other volume comes close to what Ernst has achieved here - a modern bibliographic classic! This book is worth every penny...

An invaluable reference aid., September 8, 2003
This review is from: Robert Benchley: An Annotated Bibliography (Bibliographies and Indexes in Popular Culture) (Hardcover)
This excellent bibliography is a comprehensive listing of Benchley's books, essays, newspaper writings, and drama criticism, as well as main secondary sources and archives of Benchley material. It also contains a publishing chronology, filmography, and discography. Ernst writes, "Just about everything in this bibliography was verified by the author by actually looking at the item, and anything not found is so noted."
An invaluable reference aid.
