I LOVE LUCY... 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Excellent Book. Highly recommended for any "Lucy" fan. A good read!

The Best Lucy Book On Earth

I was DELIGHTED with this book. It featured biographies, the compleye episode guide with interesting coincidences and facts. I really liked the episode guide. It featured rare seen pictures, script lines, and a summary of every one. Plus, it also tests your lucy knowledge, with over 500 trivia questions and answers. It also features facts many books or episodes don't. For example: When Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz eloped in 1940, where did Desi buy the last-to-minute brass wedding ring he gave to Lucy? Read the book to find out!!

Bought It As A Gift

While personally not a Lucy fanatic I bought this as a Christmas gift for my aunt who absolutely loves Lucy. The gift was an absolute smash. After the gifts were opened, she was found sitting in the corner glued to this book. The book is well done with beautiful pictures. I gave it 5 stars because she has not stopped thanking me for this book.

Great facts and trivia questions about each episode!

"I Love Lucy: The Official 50th Anniversary Edition, Celebrating 50 Years of Love and Laughter" is a wonderful book filled with photos, facts, quotes, and trivia questions about each of the episodes of the classic "I Love Lucy" series from the 1950s. Each page contains fascinating information much of which I, a die hard Lucy fan, had never heard before. Everytime I flip through the book I end up dying to watch an episode! There are also brief bios of all of the stars and an interview with Keith Thibodeaux AKA "Little Ricky" and some of the writers of the show. My only complaint about the book are tributes from so called "celebrities" of the day...the celebrities chosen are for the most part minor who in a few years will not be remembered..there are only a few of these pages, but I think the book would have been better off without them.

Full Of Interesting Stuff For All Lucy Fans!!!

Ok I admit it, I am a die-hard fan of "I Love Lucy". Over the years I have read just about every book written about the actors and the show and this one is the best. There are interesting biographies and "behind the scenes" stuff and then a page devoted to EVERY episode of the show. Many pictures, trivia questions, and all kinds of fun stuff await the reader that makes this a must-have for any loyal Lucy fan. What makes this book different is the meticulous research into every episode both in front of and behind the camera. You'll feel almost as good after reading this as if you had seen an actual episode of the show-almost. Because nothing beats hearing the Ricardos and the Mertzes planning their schemes and having their fun at 323 E. 68th Street.If you don't like this book, well....."You've definetly got some splainin' to do!"
