In association with Moe Feinberg, the book was actually written by at least one ghost writer utilized by the publisher. Unfortunately, many accounts not witnessed by Feinberg are portrayed inaccurately by the behind-the-scenes writer(s). For example, Feinberg's typewritten manuscript covering the Healy years is 7 pgs. of basic historical dates, with little to no background or personal account information; the book contains 50 pgs. about Healy, and many of the accounts negative to Healy were fictionalized by a ghost writer.
From the back cover (paperback edition)...
"The Stooges weren't worth a damn without Larry." - Ed Bernds, director of many of The Three Stooges best films.
"What was it about this entertaining and funny little guy that led to five generations of fans to sidesplitting and mindless mirth?
Morris 'Moe' Feinberg, Larry's younger brother, sifts through 80 years of rich memories and tells true stories from Larry's career, such as:
- The immortal Al Jolson shoving our hero into the bizarre world of Stoogedom.
- The birth of the famous "poke in the eye" routine.
- The times the Stooges narrowly escaped injury on the set.
- The complete script of Howard, Fine & Howard's very first act as a vaudeville threesome."
