I have some titles in my video library. I wonder why it took so long for someone to write a book about his life. He died 60 years ago in 1949. That was the year I was born. Hopefully it will be available for purchase soon on amazon.ca.

Most books centered on old movies and TV shows range an average of $20 to $25 depending on the thickness of the book. I have paid $30 to $95 for numerous books and they were well worth it. In fact, the past year I saw two different books on the same subject, each different thickness, ranging from $20 to $45 in price. I flipped through both books on the same weekend at the Western Film Fair and I bought the $45 book because it's well detailed and superbly worth every penny. Not saying $15 is too little or too much for a book, but I find the best books I ever read cost much more than $15. Bear Manor Media offers $20 and $25 and it's far better than McFarland Publishing that charges $45 on average.
