I'm friendly with the author of this book and he sent me a copy to check out, so I might be a bit biased in my opinion. I can't say that this is a must-read, because much of the information is already well-known to hardcore Stooges fans. However, I do feel that this book does bring something to the table. While most Stooges books were written from the vantage point of a researcher, a film historian or a relative, this book was written purely from the vantage point of a fan. It's one thing to hear Moe's children say that Moe recognized the importance of his fans, but it's quite different to hear it from the kid that he corresponded with, encouraged and inspired. This unique perspective of Moe Howard is really the essence of what this book is all about.
