Actually this book seems to be most of the research for Nick Toshes book. Minus the mob and language. Although you get the feeling that Arthur Marx really knew and liked the subjects he's writting... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have read this book a couple of times, along with Nick Tosches book on Dino. I like to read about the lives of different entertainers and find that Dean Martin was probably one of the most fascinating personalities of his time.The fact that he was such a private person makes him that much more intriguing. I do feel Arthur Marx did the best he could with the information he had, but I cannot honestly give this book 5 stars. I'll read it again and maybe I'll change my mind.
Arthur Marx had more facts straight than did Nich Toshes

I have this book and the reading is good. Actually this book seems to be most of the research for Nick Toshes book. Minus the mob and language. Although you get the feeling that Arthur Marx really knew and liked the subjects he's writting about. Would recommend it to be included in any collectors library.
