Summary: BOB HOPE IS THE BEST
Review: Richard Grudens once again does a teriffic job of writing and displaying a mans life in great fashion. As an avid collector of all music memorabilia and a musician, I am very humbled by this wonderful presentation of Bob Hope. I'm only a 24 year old guy, and in my time I have not seen a single man do so much in a lifetime of all the people I know and know of. I remember all the good Bob Hope did being at the USO shows for our troops and watching the reruns of the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby movies with my dad. My dad is also a huge fan of Bob Hope and all the old timers stuff, so we say(that would be coming from a young person like myself). This book belongs on the library shelves as a reference to Bob Hope. ---- an instant classic ----
