Summary: The Brown Derby: Wonderful Photos and Stories
Review: A priceless photo collection of Hollywood Stars that have never been released or seen since the 1940's and 1950's. The photos are from the late Sally and Bob Cobb's personal photo collection and some photos were taken by Geroge Hurrell. The stories are captivating, heart warming and a part of Hollywood history that is a must for movie buffs and the novice a like. Clark Gable and Bob Cobb spent many years together, hunting and fishing. One night after the kitchen at the Durby was closed, Bob mixed a salad together made mostly from left overs. Since that night the famous salad has been referred to as the "Cobb Salad". The story that best describes the Cobbs is the one story about the WWII soldier..very touching! A great gift or a nice coffee table conversation item!

Summary: A nostalgic review of Hollywood's Golden Era at The Derby
Review: An excellent and most interesting history of The Brown Derby written by the founder's widow (Sally Cobb) and Mark Willems.

A wonderful photographic essay of many of The Brown Derby's clientele during the Golden Age of Hollywood. This book also includes many of the Derby's most famous receipes as well.

After ordering a copy for myself, I then ordered several additional copies for friends and family members who knew many of the individuals photographed at the Derby and which are shared with us by Mrs. Cobb and Mr. Willems.
