crazyblonde7 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I recently ordered this book because I am up to John Wayne in my movie collecting. Is this a good book? Is there a better one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Shouldn't you have asked this question before you ordered the book? I don't have the book but I do have similar books on other actors. I am guessing that the book is mainly a listing of all of John Wayne's film appearances including his early days when he had only small parts (like Barbara Stanwyck's BABY FACE). Just how much detail does the book go into about the film itself, maybe how Wayne got the part, etc? That you will find out. It sounds like a good way to start learning about the Duke's film career, other books will get more into the story of the man's life. I would suggest doing a search on ebay (not necessarily to buy books there, use just for a reference) its amazing how many books have been written over the years. That may help you, sometimes you can access reviews of individual book buyers/readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyblonde7 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Mr. Roberts, I had already done everything you mentioned, I just wanted to see what people here had to say about it. I'm not looking for a Bio just a book with films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbaetz Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I recently ordered this book because I am up to John Wayne in my movie collecting. Is this a good book? Is there a better one? To my knowledge this is the only book up to date on the complete films of John Wayne. It looks like it's well written and some info on his career. This is most likely your best bet if you only want a list of films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
