THE PICTURES ARE WORTH THE PRICE!!4
If you are a Robert Taylor fan as I am, you will love this book. The pictures are magnificent!! However in some areas Mr. Quirk shows a real bias. He gives lots of praise to the military films but gives little if any praise to most of the romances. Considering who the book is about this is unfortunate. Anyone writing a book on Mr. Taylor needs to appreciate the very strong romantic appeal that he had. Mr. Quirk criticized some films that women have traditionally loved. Also, Mr. Quirk got some of the names and dates wrong under some of the photographs. On the whole, however, this book would
delight any true Robert Taylor fan.

Superior!5
Lawrence Quirk's book is the finest ever produced regarding Robert Taylor, in large measure because he gives a tremendous (though somewhat brief) biography of Taylor's film career, listing ALL of his films (including objective film reviews), but MORE importantly, great photos of the actor--including stills from his films and a collection of wonderful publicity
photos. It his high quality, well-written and beautifully assembled. Congratulations, Larry. I purchased a copy years ago and treasure it to this day!
