LITTLE ELF: A CELEBRATION OF HARRY LANGDON is due for release by Bear Manor Media on June 28th. But Bear Manor Media is already listing it as in stock. The book was written by Chuck Harter & Michael J. Hayde and retails for $49.95. Amazon's listing reports the book is almost 700 pages long.
Over at NitrateVille, co-author Michael J. Hayde recently posted the following:
"This is Harry Langdon's DEFINITIVE life story, coupled with the most comprehensive Langdon filmography ever compiled. My co-author, Chuck Harter, and I have uncovered every aspect of Harry's career, from his earliest stage appearances to his final day on a soundstage. Errors from previous books have been explained and corrected. Over 500 images add depth to the story of this most subtly visual of silent clowns. As a bonus, the book includes FIVE of Harry's original vaudeville scripts, TEN vintage movie magazine profiles from 1925-33, and a detailed, illustrated synopsis of HEART TROUBLE.
A Foreword by Steve Massa and a 3-page Introduction by Ed Watz - two of the most authoritative film comedy experts of our day - set the stage for this 690-page Langdon tribute. Whatever the depth of your interest in the Golden Age of Comedy, we're sure you'll enjoy LITTLE ELF."
