LAUREL
and HARDY the US Tours
What they said:
Hey A.J., I'm 3/4 through
your book, and am
loving
every page. Really wonderful stuff, which blows the doors off a lot of
traditional
perceptions and beliefs. Chris Seguin, Toronto,
Canada

LAUREL & HARDY: THE U.S.
TOURS is a
remarkable
book. You have done so much incredible research! Many thanks! Lou Sabini,
Stamford, Ct. US

I was really amazed at all of
the research
that
you did to fill in a missing chapter on the boys. Great Work! John Richter, Hanover,
Pa. US

I've just received my copy of
your new book
about
'Laurel & Hardy's US Tours' - and, as it turns out, so much
more. Randy Skretvedt, Buena
Park Ca. US.

Yet another extraordinary
literary tribute
by
'A.J' Marriot to the greatest comedy team of all time. It is a
fascinating
chronicle of the lesser known history of The Boys and chock-full of
interesting
information and photographs - some of which has never been published
before.
I congratulate AJ on a job well done! Tyler St. Mark. Beverly
Hills, Ca.
US.

I must say, it was great fun.
The book has
lots
of good information - but also you write with such good humor that it
was a most enjoyable read. Jeff Donaldson, Green
Valley, Ca.
US

Very impressive and very,
very interesting.
What
a work ! It is a true tour de force. Congratulations. Jean-Luc Vandiste,
Savigny, France

No brickbats here just -
pure admiration for
the
research and care gone into the publication. I love the illustrations
being
scattered throughout the book at suitable places. And what photographs,
so
many completely new to me. As they usually show the boys clowning
around
they are also very happy pictures. I read the book with a smile on my
face.
The humour with which you tell their story even extends to the captions
('The
dead Parrott fish sketch' indeed!) and I found the design with the
little
cars, trains and buses particularly delightful. Your three L&H
books
and the Chaplin tome now have pride of place on my bookshelf. Phil Key (former
arts editor Liverpool Daily Post for 40
years.)

Your book is tremendous,
it's colossal, it's
stupendous. I laughed - I cried. I expected newspaper accounts, but you
found
images of the Boys in every aspect of their career and personal life.
Things
that I did not know! You wove together all the missing pieces of the
puzzle
with your most welcome observations and wit, that shows your knowledge
of
the subjects. Your sense of humor is apparent and most welcome. You
stitched
together all the elements to make this a most welcome book. Again,
congratulations A.J.
Sincerely, Bill Cassara,
Rancho Cucamonga,

I'm speechless about all the
new information
that
you assembled. Michael Ehret, Marburg,
Germany
- - - o - - -
You have done a very fine job
of tracking
down,
documenting - and illustrating - many quite arcane activities. It all
greatly
contributes to our knowledge of, and affection for, two delightful
gentlemen. Bob Dickson, Los Angeles,
Ca. US

A fabulous book, which I
will read over and
over
again. Great job!
Scott Rungren, St. Louis,
Mo. US.
