One of my favorites

I got this book about 12yrs ago, when I was in 7th grade. I had to do a research paper on any famous person and, just to be different, I chose John Wayne. I didn't know much about him at the time. I'd seen a few of his movies on TV but that was it. I checked out several biographies on him from the library. In researching his life, I discovered what an incredible person he was, and I became a fan. This is probably one of the most used books that I own. It's full of fun facts on the man and his movies. I'm in the process of collecting all of his movies on DVD and the list in the back of the book is extremely helpful. This is a great book for any John Wayne fan or for someone interested in classic movies and movie stars.

This book was full of interesting facts and data on the Duke

This book is broken into 6 section regarding the Duke. The first part is about his early years. Section 2 is full of trivia questions about the Duke for each 10 year era. Section 3 covers all about his movies, directors, and others that he worked with. It has some very good pictures. Section 4 covers items named or made of or in his likeness. Section 5 is about his television specials and more questions about him that you didn't know. Section 6 is about book written about him. Very informative and great Christmas present.
