"Stan Without Ollie"

Post by Bor Enots » Sat Oct 13, 2012 8:21 am

I am having trouble finding any reviews (other than a couple of customer reviews on Amazon) of this book. Does anybody know of any?

I have just read through the parts about Stan's films he made with G.M. Anderson, and hope to finish up the rest of the book in the next week or so. I have been real busy on other things at the moment including preparing a new Laurel or Hardy DVD release that will be coming out early next year, and I am in year 2 of about 3 researching a book dealing with an obscure comedy company or two or three (depending on how you count).

Will this be a collection of solo comedies?

I already have a DVD set with Stan and Ollie solo stuff - will the new release be an update or replacement ...?

New compared to what is available on Kino. A few titles might be the same as are available elsewhere.... but superior versions. Would say the majority are titles that have never been on BluRay, DVD or Video.

Oh, I think it will be better than that. This is great news, Rob, and I'm very much looking forward to the DVD. The book is invaluable; I use it all the time.
