Authors Stephen Cox and John Loftin have interviewed more than 50 of Bud Abbott's and Lou Costello's close friends, relatives, and coworkers to put together a scrapbook that features quotes and lively remembrances from family, friends, and celebrities, including Lucille Ball, Milton Berle, the Andrews Sisters and Mel Blanc. Offering a complete filmography and packed with more than 200 photos and illustrations (many of which have never been seen before), as well as the Boys' most famous routines. "The Official Abbott & Costello Scrapbook" is an authoritative and captivating tribute to the lives, laughs, and legend of America's best-loved comedy team."
