Hi Arthur,
It is really very interesting, but after your comments I don't really know if I want to read the book itself. What I want - to see all others Ford's movies, which I haven't seen yet. Expecially silents. I've seen all his movies with Duke, Drums along the Mohowk, Mogambo, Grapes of Wrath and My Darling Clementine. Recntly many movies was released even here. The latest Ford movie which appered here is Young Mr.Lincoln. I'm waiting for my copy now. As for books - I shall wait a little, until I saw more of his movies.
The author seems to have some strange opinions about Ford. What I'm sure want to read is Bogdanovich about Ford, he sure well understands him.
Regards,
Vera

Thanks, Arthur,
I'll be waiting. You know I can't name myself a collector of books about Duke and Ford, but if I see one - nobody can take it away from me LOL. I regulary pick up something at abebooks mostly, but I didn't order new ones until I finish existing. So I'm very slow on that.
But your recomendations and critics are always preshios.

Hi,
I have read this recently. It is a great book of course and pretty accurate in details. But for me it was hard to go through all political issues and wide picture of US history in which I nearly drawn. So for a pity (don't think I'm a complete fool) I like Shooting Star more as well as memories about Duke (Pat Stasy, Aissa's, Pilar's). But I'm hope to return to this book someday.

Peter Bogdanovich
WHO THE HELL'S IN IT Conversations with Holliwood's Legendary Actors.
The book has very good chapter about Duke.

Hi,
When I was in Paris this summer I picked up a very nice small book in French about Duke. It is small - little more then 60 pages, but contains many nice photos, mainly from the movies. The autor is Philippe J.-P. Ferrari. I myself unfortunatly don't know French, but enjoyed photos.
Wanted to add cover, but can't do it - don't know why.

I've gotten behind... I bought about another dozen books in the last week or so but since I can't post them in a large block and a single post I lose track. I do know I got this book today but would have to figure out which others are new in the last week.

Hi Dakota,
How you read them so fast. Or you decide collect them first. From these I\ve read only Alissa's book. Have the same edition.

Kind of a slow thread here, but I was able to put an image of my current collection... and I have several more on the way that I am picking up for next top nothing. An example is, I picked up an original John Wayne America LP from 1973, still in the factory seal in nearly mint condition. It also came with the book of lyrics, song info and printed sheet music in the book. The set only cost me $10. I'm wondering how many people have this and if anyone knows if it's even worth anything. The album is row 5 column 1 and the book is next to it.

Hi,
As it was said many times here - one of the best ones is John Wayne: American by randy Roberts and James S.Olson. I'm reading it now and greatly enjoy. I also like Zolotov's book A Shooting Star - very interesting. If you look for pictures you can try Goldstein Tribute or Complete films of Duke.

Hi DakotaSurfer,
Thank you for sending this covers. I have only two of these books - JW American and Company of Heroes. Is the Crowley book a new one? Haven't heard about it before.

Hi,
At last I bought John Wayne, American and enjoying it greatly. All good words that was said here about the book is absolutly true. May be it is the best Duke biography. Also received A Tribute by Goldstein it happen to be mostly photo tribute, not very ggod printing but nice to see.

I see this book was mentioned a couple times in this thread... any opinions on it's content?

Hi,
I have it. It was the first book about Duke I have read. But I think that the photos are more valuable there when text itself, but anyway it is interesting.

Hi
I think I agree with most of your choices John Wayne American is very good as is Duke the Life and times of John Wayne. In its place Fred Landesman's book is superb.
Regards
Arthur
Hi Arthur,
Here Fred Landesman book is available, but it costs about 150$!!
I'm not prepeared yet to pay that much.
