From the book jacket...
"Realizing that the contents of her attic, filled with Stooge memorabilia, should be shared with Stooge fans everywhere, Joan Howard Maurer, daughter of Moe Howard, put all of her creative projects on hold and has written her fourth book about her favorite comedy team, The Three Stooges. The catalyst for this decision was the same question asked by fans before she wrote The Three Stooges Book of Scripts [Volume I]: "Did the Stooges ad lib their comedies or were there actually scripts?" The Three Stooges Book of Scripts Volume II provides more answers to that question as well as to hundreds of others about this zany comedy team.
In this new book, Joan presents three more vintage film scripts with all the original, written dialogue intact. Her script choices, RESTLESS KNIGHTS, WE WANT OUR MUMMY and YES, WE HAVE NO BONANZA are compatible with the three films in Volume IX of RCA-Columbia's Three Stooges video cassette, enabling fans and collectors alike to follow a Three Stooges script at the same time they watch the completed film on their television screens.
Rounding out this unique format is a special, added chapter about the 1962 Columbia feature, THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES, the most successful Stooges film in their half-century career.
The illustrations for the book are composed of both frame blow-ups from the films, and additional photos from Moe Howard's collection of 8x10 stills which have never been published in any of the previous Stooges books. Included are new biographical sketches on the stars, performers, writers, producers, cameramen and editors, as well as a chapter titled "More Respect," which contains the current highlights of the continual resurgence of these three fascinating comedians."
