He's my favorite silent actor outside of Lon Chaney, Sr. The book is wonderfully researched and seems to be well written and well edited, besides. Accolades from the right people, too: that's a genuine plus. Even Jeffrey Vance has thumbs-upped it!

Ah I thought it wasn't out for months. I must order it! About time Doug had a good bio.

Absolutely - and more than a look! I bought mine in London in the late 1970s at the same time as a pal, and wouldn't dream of parting with it, even if one notes the odd flaw on re-reading.
