I feel I have read every "Lucy" book written. However, when you hold in your own hands, the "scrapbook" memories that Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz shared, you feel closer to what magic they created and shared.
This book is full of letters and mementos you can actually remove from the book and hold them and read them, just the way Lucy & Desi did. These are their very own birth announcements, photographs, articles, passports, greeting cards and letters that moved them enough to hold onto them and not discard them like the rest of us do.
With actual memories of items written by Lucy & Desi about the various items, you are not getting a third person account of their lives. Read it, touch it, feel it. There were parts I was moved to tears to read about. I cannot think of another book that has EVER moved me that way.
A must have book if you say "I Love Lucy". Sure we all did, but this book will show you like no other the human side of a fine, fine couple. Many thanks to Lucie & Desi Jr. for sharing these private mementos of their parents lives with the public.
