OF THE WORLD"S FAVORITE CLAYBOY
by Louis Kaplan and Scott Michaelseni
with Art Clokey
Harmony Books
1986
ISBN: 0-517-56266-9 (SC)
151 pp.
An absolutely terrible book if you want to find out anything on Gumby. This book contains the most inane text I have ever read. THE book on Art Clokey has yet to be written. It does have a lot of color and black & white photos though.

The best source of information on this perenial favorite. A kind of klunky vanity press book but Mr. Goldschmidt has done his homework well.

The older I get the more I like Buñuel. He is one sly dog. He's also the only member of the surrealists who ever matured as an artist.

A very good book on the Japanese special effects genius who created Godzilla, all of Godzilla's playmates and Ultraman. Ragone gives a film by film survey choc full of anecdotes. The book has a huge amount of black & white photos. I wish it had a breakdown of the first three ULTRA series though.
