"The Laurel and Hardy Movie Posters Book" celebrates the film legacies of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, considered by critics and their fans to be the greatest comedy team of all time. The book is divided into five sections: Silent Films, Sound Films, Foreign Versions, Compilation Films and Solo Films. In all, more than 100 pieces of poster art, culled from a variety of sources, are included, from one-sheets to lobby cards to inserts to window cards. Also included is an easy-to-use index. Because of the scarcity and rarity of the material, the book is not a complete collection. Instead it is wide range sampling of poster art available in today's marketplace, assembled in one book for the first time. Quality may vary depending on the original source material. "The Laurel and Hardy Movie Posters Book" illustrates how the legendary comedy team's films were promoted here and around the world.

The remarkable story behind the planning, development and marketing of Laurel and Hardy's ill-received final film, Atoll K, has been little explored. Details on the script development, cast, crew, locations, and even basic information on running times and release dates have been sketchy at best since the film's 1951 release. This work reconstructs the circumstances surrounding this unusual international co-production (Atoll K was a French-Italian film with English-speaking stars). Through lost documents detailing the film's production and funding, previously unreleased behind-the-scenes photos, and a rare interview with French movie star Suzy Delair, the author explores the continuous changes to the film's script during its chaotic production and the final marketing of the film's many different versions (Atoll K was also released as Robinson Crusoeland in the United Kingdom and as Utopia in the United States). Several appendices detail alternative sequences and cut scenes in various versions of the film and include French box-office reports from 1951 to 1952 as well as a complete filmography.
