From the dust jacket...
"Here at last is an exhaustive, exhilarating, and vastly entertaining compendium of all things Stooge. Inside, you'll find:
- More than 1400 entries identifying the slapstick-happy people, places, jokes and routines immortalized by The Three Stooges. If it appeared in a Stooge film, it's in this book.
- Film synopses, including a key gag, for each of the 190 short films and six full-length feature films The Three Stooges made between 1934 and 1965. You'll never again have to wonder why the Stooges were teaching a college classroom full of girls how to sing the alphabet!
- More than 140 action-packed photographs and film stills (some guaranteed to make you wince!), most of which have never been published until now.
- Biographies of each Stooge as well as notes on key supporting players such as Vernon Dent, Christine McIntyre and Emil Sitka, and an overview of the Stooges' development from touring slapstick players to worldwide sensation.
- A handy cross-referencing system that allows you to look up every hotel the Stooges ever ransacked, every set of girlfriends they ever wooed, every crook they ever collared.
- Sidebars revealing such Stooge tidbits as the secret to their classic sound effects and every insult Moe ever hurled at his partners. You blubberheads and mental midgets won't believe what you'll read!
Hilarious and authoritative, The Official Three Stooges Encyclopedia is every Stooge fan's bible."
