Summary: Learn to cook like a Stooge!
Review: Watch for The Official Three Stooges Cookbook coming October 1998--it synthesizes all that is delicious in Three Stooges films! Some recipes, such as those for Cackle Soup, Roast Stooge, and Filet of Sole and Heel, are for delicacies actuallly cooked or eaten by the Stooges in their films. Others, such as Sloppy Moes, Porcupine Potatos, and Curly Fries are inspired by their hilarious--and sometimes baffling--relationship to food. Now even amateur Stooge lovers can prepare such masterpieces as Limburger a la Larry or Southern Comforter in less time than it takes to burn a turkey! In total you will find more than 75 zany recipes and 50 original film stills, as well as numerous hilarious quotations from the Stooges in this one-of-a-kind, not-to-be-missed Stooge lover's cooking bible.

Summary: Shemp for President!
Review: What a fun book! Good organization, funny entries, really complete information. I even found the words to the Be-A-Be song! I really enjoyed this and will give it to my friends for Christmas -- at least a few of them, anyway!

Summary: "Stop, Read & Laugh"
Review: What a great idea whose time has come. I just picked up a copy last week and was thoroughly impressed and surprised at how thorough this book was. It covers everything about the Stooges- and I mean everything! I couldn't believe how thorough the author was in compiling information about EVERY SINGLE short they ever did! I laughed at the stuff I remembered and HOWLED at the stuff I forgot but was reminded of. For example, it lists every detail and info. you could ever want- from the names of products to places on maps and lots more. Wow! All I can say is that if anyone loves or even likes the Stooges, you gotta get this book- trust me! You'd have to be a *real* imbecile not to. Well done Mr. Kurson. curleyq

Summary: The finest - and funniest - Stooge book ever
Review: When a Stooge book gets a rave review in the Sunday Washington Post Book World, you know the Stooges have arrived. This book is what every Stooge fan, casual or hardcore, has been waiting a lifetime for. Rather than bog the reader down in mundane facts and tedious minutia, this book extracts all things funny from the Stooges' short films. It's all here: words to the "Alphabet" song, a compendium of Stooge routines (remember "Maha? A-ha?") and a filmography that brings back warm and funny memories. There's even a priceless set of lists that recount such things as all the Stooges' sets of girlfriends (ie Aggie, Maggie and Baggie) to the hotels they stayed in (Hotel Costa Plente, Motel Snazzy Plaza). Anyone who ever laughed at the Stooges will put this book under their pillow at night.

Summary: What a major disappointment!
Review: When Comedy III acquired the official rights to the Three Stooges name, lots of low quality items started flooding the market. The Three Stooges Encyclopedia is a continuation of this low quality trend. The book is difficult to use, and really tells very little about the famous comedy team. Instead of being a reference book to the Stooges, it clutters its pages with worthless items like obscure quotes from the shorts. You want to see a good encyclopedia about a classic comedy team? Flip through the Marx Brothers Encyclopedia. This one isn't worth your time.
