The Three Stooges Scrapbook:
Dour-faced Moe Howard with his sugar-bowl haircut, his bald, chubby brother Curly and frizzy-haired Larry have poked, slapped, ear-yanked and nose-twisted their way into people's hearts across the world - and into film history. Their nearly 200 two-reel comedies, made between 1933 and 1958, have been translated into over 25 languages, entertained nearly six generations of fans and are seen somewhere in the world every single day. The Three Stooges Scrapbook is a historical overview of their time in show-business.

Format:Paperback
For nearly twenty years, Joan's "Three Stooges Scrapbook" has been the one reference book that any Stooge fan cannot be without. The book is conveniently divided into sections (biographies, history of the team, television, collectables, etc.), is easy to read, and is one of the most comprehensive books on the comedy team ever to be published. You will refer to this book again and again.

Format:Paperback
Partially written by Moe's daughter, this is the book the budding stooge fan should buy first. Each of the stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Joe, and Curly Joe) are given a separate biographical chapter. Their filmmaking history is covered, as well as less well known forays into Television, Comic Books, and yes, singing record albums. The stooges proved to be successful in nearly everything they tried. But the best feature by far is the reference synopses of EVERY stooge short, complete with cast list, director, and trivia. If a gag was used in multiple shorts (many were), they are cross-referenced. A must for any stooge's film festival. Another highlight is photos of the original lobby cards for the shorts. A number of family photographs are included, in which almost all, the boys are shown mugging. A gem for any stooge fan, it has been in print for more than 20 years.

I have owned this book since it was first published and words can't describe how much I love it. I refer to it all the time. Love drips off the pages--the love the Stooges had for their fans, their families for them, and the Stooges for each other. Who wouldn't be proud to be a Stooge?

Terrible
The book starts off well, showing the history and biographies of the stooges. Then, it takes a turn for the worst...and completely disregards Curly and Shemp. Read more
