Hollywood Haunted delivers. The format is perfect, the pictures are beautiful,
the layout just right. This is the way a book about ghosts and hollywood
should be. I thought it was going to be a cheesy, boring, ugly book that I was
just going to use for research; it's a treat!

For better or worse, television advertising occasionally becomes a touchstone
in our lives. Chevrolet's "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie,"
Alka-Seltzer's spicy meatball, the Federal Express fast talker, the Energizer

of other video...

Reviewer: A reader from San Francisco
The sixties were an amazing time for Superman. The stories were more
lighthearted and aimed for a younger audience. Yet, this volume works. The
cast of characters is more well rounded than in today's books. This book
contains classic stories such as Superman's Return To Krypton, his origin, the
death of the Kents. Superman is rendered in classic form as these are
wonderful examples of Boring, Swan, Schaffenberger, and Plastino artwork. I
remember enjoying many of these stories when they first came out and it a
pleasure to read these stories and others which are new to me. I hope that the
success of this volume will lead to more of these to be published.
