I have recently purchased "The John Wayne Filmography" by Fred Landesman (a pricey $75) and I don't recall seeing it on here anywhere. It is very comprehensive but somewhat clinical in it's information on "every" movie made by the Big Guy. It basically relates dates, studio, casts, and plot with some extras like box-office statistics. Not as many pictures as one would probably like and it is printed on yellowing paper making it all look like something from long ago. As I said, it is rather clinical in it's interpretations...not a lot of antecdotes.
I just received "John Wayne-A Western Celebration", which is a very colorful, huge book dealing with the westerns of John Wayne's career. Full color reproductions of old movie posters (some of the posters are more exciting than the original movie was but hey, sensationalism sells!). These book claims to be a limited edition and I ordered it directly from it's web-site. I paid $100 for it plus shipping and I noticed Amazon had it listed for about $130 (but unavailable).
What I'd like to find is a really good biography of John Wayne, the actor and the man. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
