If I Held It Any Closer - I Would Be Behind It!!!

This book allows you to be in the Marx Family and experience what it must have been like to have a Father who was none other than the "One and Only, GROUCHO!!!"I have nothing but the utmost respect for Arthur and thank him for sharing his memories and ALL of his fantastic photo's of his Father and Family. If a picture is worth a million words then this book is worth at least two million ("or three for a dollar").

KUDOS TO ARTHUR MARX AND FRANK FERRANTE!!

This book is simply gorgeous! Thank you Thank you Thank you to Arthur Marx and Frank Ferrante for keeping we Groucho and Marx Brothers fans near and dear to their hearts. This book has beautiful never-before-seen photos of Groucho including Groucho at play! 187 pages isn't nearly enough!! I hope we will see additional Photographic Journeys of the rest of the Marx's.

Better than Harpo Speaks, etc! Hooray For Arthur Marx!!

I simply loved Arthur Marx's "Groucho." I used to be an actor and I played some of the Marx Brothers in plays in community theatre. So I've done a great deal of research. Suffice it to say, this is a lasting, poignant tribute to the world's funniest man by a first rate writer - Groucho's son Arthur.

MY FAVORITE BOOK!!!

I just received "Arthur Marx's Groucho" as an early Mother's Day gift from my son and it was the most beautiful book I've ever seen. The pictures were big and clear and the story of father and son was completely moving. I recommend it highly!

Most Moving, Vibrant, Entertaining GROUCHO book in years!!!

Until this week, I had no idea what I was going to get my mother for Mother's Day, my father for Father's Day. Now I know. I have read every comedy, Groucho and Marx Brothers book out there. And now comes along an unbelieveably intimate look at comedy's best - "Arthur Marx's GROUCHO: A Photographic Journey." 'Arthur Marx's GROUCHO' succeeds where no other book has in portraying the private Groucho behind the public genius... because for the first time we actually see the man. These are absolutely pheneomenal photographs of Groucho and the Marx Brothers - most of which I've never seen. Many of these photos were taken by Groucho's son Arthur in the mid-1930's and capture Groucho through the years. And they completely shatter the image of the great Groucho brooding at home. Here he is playing with his kids, celebrating holidays, laughing while making "A Day at the Races" with his brothers. Incredible stuff. This coffee table book itself is as stunning and classy as the subject matter. Gold embossed title, highest quality paper. Obvious care was taken in design and structure. Arthur Marx writes loving and humorous commentary on his legendary family. It is packed with Groucho one-liners, new stories and celeb photos. I can't say enough about it. Comedy and Marx fans will not be disappointed. You bet your life!
