Collecting Laurel & Hardy combines more than 1,000 full-color photos of artifacts with film history, fun stories, and painstaking research to
create a veritable encyclopedia of Laurel and Hardy memorabilia—from Stan's perpetual desk calendar and Ollie's Way Out West pants, to rare lobby cards
and original scripts, to figurines and games. Featuring even truly obscure items (such as Christmas ornaments depicting Laurel and Hardy dressed as baby chickens!), this book takes fans into the whimsical, wonderful, and often hilarious world of collectibles that celebrate the popular comedic duo.
Showcasing items from the priceless to the more affordable, chapters tackle
the categories of autographs; props, wardrobe, and personal items;
advertising and publicity; toys and games; figures; ceramics; books
and comics; and so much more! There's even a chapter that discusses the international Sons of
the Desert fan club, as well as museums around the world devoted to "the Boys." Special
featurettes add to the fun by providing information on the iconic duo's experiences with fan correspondence, awards, magic,
animation, lost films, and even their work with animals. Leading film critic and historian Leonard Maltin provides the foreword.
Filled to the (bowler hat) brim with
rare and desirable memorabilia, this book offers a tour through the world’s largest assembly of Laurel and Hardy collectibles in one place, making it a veritable museum in print and the ultimate tribute
to one of Hollywood’s most beloved comedy teams.
