Forry
Forrest J Ackerman (1916-2008) was an author, archivist, agent, actor, promoter, and editor of the iconic fan magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland; a founder of science fiction fandom; and one of the world's foremost collectors of sci-fi, horror and fantasy films, literature, and memorabilia. This biography begins with a foreword by Joe Moe, Ackerman's caregiver and close friend since 1982. It documents Ackerman's lifelong dedication to his work in both literature and film; his interests, travels, relationships and associations with famous personalities; and his lasting impact on popular culture. Primary research material includes letters given by Ackerman to the author during their long friendship, and numerous reminiscences from Ackerman's friends, fans and colleagues.
It All Comes Back to Me Now
The "Golden Apple" of the title is Westchester County, NY, where O'Shaughnessy broadcasts from community radio station WVOX. The collection of his commentaries, profiles, vignettes, tributes, speeches, and interviews rounds up famous personalities like Mario Cuomo, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Hillary Clinton, Cardinal O'Connor, and George Plimpton as well as the "townies" who inhabit the wealthy suburb outside New York City. Three sections of bandw snapshots show some of the prominent characters involved. c. Book News Inc.

Not Just Batman's Butler
In January 1966, Alan Napier became a household name on ABC's hit series Batman (1966-1968) as Alfred Pennyworth, loyal butler to the show's title character. This "overnight success" came after 16 years of stage work (and the occasional film) in his native England and 26 years of film and television work (and the occasional play) in the United States. In the early 1970s, Napier wrote an autobiography, detailing his childhood as a "poor relation" of the famous Birmingham political family the Chamberlains (Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was a cousin), and his collaborations over the years with the likes of John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, George Bernard Shaw, Noel Coward, Fritz Lang, Otto Preminger and Alfred Hitchcock. Almost 30 years after Napier's death, James Bigwood, who first read the manuscript in 1975 when interviewing the actor for a Films in Review profile, has prepared it for publication. This is Alan Napier's story in his own words, annotated and updated, with dozens of rare photographs.
Airwaves
Air Waves is a collection of poignant, vividly portrayed, and emotion-laden stories written for the airwaves, under the guise of "editorials of the air." The broadcaster/writer is William O'Shaughnessy, who took a small, regional radio station in New Rochelle and turned it into what the Wall Street Journal has described as "the quintessential community radio station in America." WVOX is also his "bully pulpit" for defending our most precious freedoms.

Buster Keaton's Crew
Buster Keaton told an interviewer in 1965, "When I'm working alone, the cameraman, the prop man, the electrician, these are my eyes out there.... They knew what they were talking about." Drawn from film trade magazines, newspapers, interviews and public records, this book tells the previously unpublished stories of the behind-the-scenes crew who worked on Keaton's silent films--like Elgin Lessley, who went from department store clerk to chief cameraman, and Fred Gabourie, who served as an army private in the Spanish American War before he became Keaton's technical director. "I'd ask, 'Did that work the way I wanted it to?' and they'd say yes or no," Keaton said of his crew. He couldn't have made his films without them.
