Now it is easy but it is still more interesting to read the "in-between" time when they were still alive and actively doing things. If you search now for "Whatever happened to Buster Crabbe, or Johnny Weissmuller or anyone else in this book the short answer will be "they died" This book has the best material on the "later years" of those addressed. Lamparski had a talent for pinpointing the weirdest aspects of these celebrity's new lives and for capsizing their more bizarre interests, outrageous statements, and occasionally offensive opinions. Lamparski aside, the information provided is often fascinating (and very weird) all by itself. His approach occasionally offended his subjects, who didn't believe they were as washed up as Lamparski suggested. PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION ON ALL PHOTOS. hw 4PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required. Thank you
