Books on Duke

It's interesting indeed. Anybody have this book already? Will look for it.

The book is just coming out now, Senta. I will be adding it to my collection for sure.

What is good that it is so many good reading ahead

There was a full page ad for this in my Chicago Tribune today. I can't find it here anywhere but I can't get around very well yet. It was published in 2015.

Just received the hardback " Duke; In his own words". Can't hardly put it down! What an incredible collection of personal moments from the man.

I really enjoyed that book, as well. Sure wish it had more than it did. Can't get enough!

This is the first I have even heard of it.

Here is an article from Atlantic Magazine

How John Wayne Became a Hollow Masculine Icon - The Atlantic

that reviews,

Wayne and Ford: The Films, the Friendship, and the Forging of an American Hero
By Nancy Schoenberger

And

Hank and Jim: The Fifty-Year Friendship of Henry Fonda and James Stewart
By Scott Eyman.

Almost done re-reading Scott Eyman book John Wayne: The Life and Legend

What is the last John Wayne book you've read?

It's funny you brought this up. I just started reading John Wayne: The Genuine Article by Michael Goldman. I've read it when I first bought it, and am now giving it a re-read. Over the years, I have collected many books about Duke and many books that his movies were made from. Heck, I even have the John Wayne paper doll book.
