Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We had a blast reading the book!
Review: My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed reading up on the Stooges! Bob--- the book is great-- We can't wait for the cookbook.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very funny and helpful.
Review: Not sure what the sign of someone's door said in MONKEY BUSINESSMEN? You'll find it in THE THREE STOOGES ENCYCLOPEDIA. This has some of the Stooges most famous quotes, songs, signs and so much more. You should buy this. This is the perfect addition to your Three Stooges collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Calling all Curs! Calling all Curs! Loco Boy Makes Good!
Review: Robert Kurson's The Official Three Stooges Encyclopedia is hilarious. Angus and MacPhearson give it "Two thumbs up your nose." If you're a stooges fan this book will blow you away like the Admiral's flagship. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to digest right. I haven't been this excited since Bearded Lady beat Filet Mignon in the Porterhouse Stakes. All this and herring too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this book is as funny as the STOOGES!
Review: Saw the documentary and bought this book. I thought it rocked! The information about the lives of moe, larry, curly and shemp was very interesting and all those little things you forget in each episode are listed here in alphabetical order. I forgot how funny the STOOGES are.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: Serious Stooge fans--beware! You or I could have written this book--off the tops of our heads. And we could have probably done a more thorough, definitive job.

The book looks great on the shelf. But "Encyclopedic?" With the exception of a few very general biographic details about some of the main players, this book reveals nothing that could not be learn by simply sitting and watching the films.

There is no insight into the people or the production of the films. No attempt to contextualize. No point of view.

It's as if the author knew nothing about film or the Stooges and was assigned by the publishers to sit, watch all the films, make a few notes about each one on a legal pad, then collate the information into a book. Any serious fan could have--should have--done better.

For all it's hundreds of pages and quality print job, it's infuriatingly empty -- and redundant, too. And what's with the lame clipart?

Stick with the vastly superior and more substantial Three Stooges Scrapbook -- still in print and available at Amazon.com

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "Encyclopedia" with inexcusable omissions
Review: Sure -- as a collection of trivia, this book may be fun up to a point. But really...it is inexcusable to publish an "Encyclopedia"--suggesting a volume of comprehensive knowledge--and not even mention each film's release date (!), writer (!), director (!!), or even bother to identify many of the well known supporting players in the films and photos. How, I wonder, would the author explain this poor effort? How cavalier... coo-coo or otherwise...can the publishers be? Disappointing indeed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Stooges book ever
Review: This book captures the real fun of the boys like no other book. It has everything any fan would love to know, including hilarious details I've never seen anywhere else. The funniest part about the book is that my wife picked it up and was laughing out loud - and she has never liked the Stooges to begin with. Definitely recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A STOOGES FAN DREAM COME TRUE
Review: This book has everything you need to know about The Stooges.
It is well organized and easy to navigate. The detail of the classic episodes is worth the price alone. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE DREAM OF EVERY STOOGE FAN IN THE GALAXY
Review: This book is the most complete guide ever written about the 3 stooges. Every answer to every question is here. I can die a happy Stooge fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michael Richards, Jerky Boys, et al...Step Aside!
Review: Total hilarity! While I can't count myself a true Stooge afficionado, what red blooded American boy hasn't invoked a "pick two" eyepoke or plead "victim of soicumstances" in any number of tight situations?

Hats off to this compendium that has me laughing out loud at episodes I've never even seen and looking up classic Stooge insults.

And what kind of knucklehead could fail to appreciate the author's commentary on the Stooges' myriad gifts to the English language.

I'm done with my holiday shopping in August!
