Size does matter
Some of you may ask: Do these books have to be so big? The answer: Yes, they do! Above all, we want to present the many rare and often hilarious photos from Stan & Ollie's exciting life in high resolution, from the best possible originals, and as large as possible!

Let customers speak for us
from 30 reviewsDas Buch ist nicht gerade billig, aber dafür auch jeden einzelnen Cent wert! Bis jetzt das Beste was ich von den Beiden in den Händen hielt!
Ein schweres großformatiges Bilderbuch mit seltenen, teils nachkolorierten Fotos, mit Abbildungen von Filmplakaten, Tickets, Accessoires, Behind the Scenens Momente etc. etc. - einfach nur schön zum Stöbern.
Schade nur, dass der Begleittext nur auf Englisch ist, - für mich zwar absolut in Ordnung, aber ich denke, es gibt sehr viele Fans, die der englischen Sprache nicht mächtig sind und davon abgeschreckt werden!
Obgleich auch ohne Begleittext die Bilder für sich alleine sprechen und wenn man die Geschichte der Beiden kennt, spielt der Text nur eine untergeordnete Rolle!
Mein Fazit: kaufen, kaufen, kaufen!!!
Ich freu mich schon auf den zweiten Teil!
Superb in every way possible and beautiful all over
Love the book & can't wait for volume II
I absolutely love your book. It arrived today and I am flabbergasted by all the love that's between the pages. I cannot wait to own volume 2 Thank you so very much!!
Wonderful work, a must for thé L&H fans and for everyone
Really great book. Lots of photos, many I'd not seen before.
Recommend buying a copy.
Great book , and quick delivery a must
A work of the century! Countless gems from the treasure chest of film history. Any future work about Laurel and Hardy will have to be measured against this. Breathtaking.
The ultimate chronicle of the Worlds most beloved Comedy Team. It's all here in the gorgeous and superbly printed book. This was obviously put together with love and respect for our two protagonists. I've been a L&H for many decades and have read many books about them- both good and bad- but this volume outclasses them all. Stunning photographs (many in color) and an informative text make this book an absolute necessity for both scholars and fans of Stan and Ollie.
Thank you Andreas and Michael.
Anxiously awaiting arrival of book, it looks like it will be terrific.
I finally just received my book. It was sent back to post office and I finally retrieved it. So worth the waite! It's a beautiful book. Pictures I haven't seen before. The pictures are magnificent. It was a lot of money for me to spend but well worth it. A lot of love and attention went into the making of this book and I am looking forward to Vol. 2
Just received it and for the little i have seen already, its a wonderful well done book (with few memorabilia too)
If there was a Premier League of Laurel and Hardy books, this one and inevitably its companion volume would be the champions by a country mile. I have never seen photographs of Laurel and Hardy reproduced with such clarity and sharpness. In this case size really does matter. The impact of the large images is mesmerising. Not only the standard studio portraits and film stills but behind the scenes images of the films are all reproduced with stunning impact on the finest quality paper. The addition of spot colouring in some of the images actually lifts them out of the ordinary but is not overdone as are the illustrations which are few and far between. Excellent chapters on the early days of The Boys and the start of their careers and supporting actors all make this a complete overview of the first part of their lives and is building up nicely to volume two. I can't recommend this book highly enough. When volume two is produced it is hard to see how anyone else can produce anything better and along with Randy Skretvedt's The Magic Behind The Movies these tomes will become the defining epitaphs to the world's greatest ever comedy team.
Excellent
There is so much wonderful material in this book. I can tell its authors and other producers really respect and love Laurel & Hardy. Highly recommended.
