A press release for the book describes its contents as follows:
In this paparazzi-inundated world, it's hard to imagine that there was a
time when genuine movie stars were accessible to members of the public. That was
certainly the case in the 1970's with surviving members of the Three Stooges
comedy team. Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly-Joe DeRita and Joe Besser routinely
corresponded with their young admirers, invited them into their homes, and
forged genuine friendships with them. Stooges Among Us is a record of these
unique relationships told in the words of the fans themselves. Also sharing
their insights are Stooges' family members, colleagues and close personal
friends. Leonard Maltin, the renowned film critic and historian, provides the
foreword to this affectionate tribute. Containing never-before published
photographs and interviews with the Stooges, this is a book that will be
treasured by classic comedy fans of all ages.
Some of the people who have contributed chapters to the book include
Stooges relatives Joan Howard Maurer, Sandie Howard Isaac and Eric Lamond as
well as celebrities Adam West, Gary Owens and Rose Marie.
Some of the others contributing chapters include writers Mark Evanier and
Randy Skretvedt as well as Three Stooges Fan Club members Bob Bernet, Scott
Reboul and Gary Lassin.
The book will be published in paperback only and the retail price is
expected to be $19.95.
