In the previous post, I referred to author Garry Berman; in 2011 he came out with an enjoyable book about comedian and actor Ed Wynn (Perfect Fool: The Life and Career of Ed Wynn).
I neglected, in the post, to include Berman's web address. It is: www.garryberman.com
The site features information about Berman's other books--including one about The Beatles that I'm planning on reading. Its title: We're Going to See the Beatles!: An Oral History of Beatlemania as Told by the Fans Who Were There (Santa Monica Press, 2008).
Here is the amazon link for the book:
