Don't leave home without it.

This is the ultimate book of celebrity death. Anyone who has passed away and enjoyed 15 minutes of celebrity (of the theatrical kind)has made it here. There is no such thing such as a quick look/see. Every time I look at this book I find that 2 or 3 hours have flashed by. If you have a modest interest in cemeteries, death, or whatever-became-of you'll find your questions answered here. It is superbly organized and each new edition provides new information (and lots of it).

Very few errors.

An excellent source for cemetary buffs with only a few "errors." The updates are timely. Could improve with maps of the major cemetaries. Perhaps should use thinner gauge paper and different binding...cracks too easily.

great reading. read it in 2 days.

I am very interested in books like this. This is one of the best that I have ever read. Was very interesting. Lists everything that you need to know about anyone who is dead. Also the lists and addresses of the cemeteries was very helpful to me. Anyone who reads this book will not be disapppointed.

I have "Final Curtain" 1994 Edition. I find it facinating.

I've just ordered the 1996 Edition and am waiting for the 1998 to become available soon. I find it facinating reading and use it as a reference book to look up facts when I'm watching an old favorite star in a movie. Its very interesting to know when they died and from what cause. Also, interesting to know where they're buried, (surprising many times).

The grave hunters bible!

Final Curtain is THE best book on grave hunting! It is very up to date (1996) and is a fabulous reference book! Unfortunately, Mr. Jarvis died last September, but his daughter is suppose to be taking up the book! I hope she does!!
