I was a fairly big Lucy fan but hadn't bought many books about her, mostly those about her show, I Love Lucy. But when I found this book, the idea of an encyclopedia intrigued me, and I figured there'd be lots of stuff about I Love Lucy, in any case. There sure is, and there's a lot more, on every aspect of Lucy's career, arranged alphabetically. The pictures are great and everything is super easy to find. The writing is both breezy and insightful; the author's obviously a big fan, but he knows his stuff. A lot of research must have gone into this. As someone else on the page says, if you need any `splainin' about anything in Lucy's life or career, it's here.

"Lucy A to Z" is well researched and fact filled. It is one of the few books about Lucille Ball that I can recommend without reservation and I have read most of them. It is an easy read and well worth the time invested in reading about Lucy's career. Wanda Clark

I say IS an amazing lady because she lives on in the ♡♥♡♡♥ of all the LUCY lovers everywhere. There is always something to learn about LUCY. Just when you think you've researched, read and yes drove by her house when I was visiting Beverly Hills, there's always more to learn. This book was just updated again by her Personal Secretary. Highly recommended. I also recommend DESI, an amazing read, available on . The story of his life is one of a brilliant talented Businessman, fantastically funny Actor, and father and husband frought with drama and comedy. I am a fan of DESI also and have some of his music.His life as a child in Cuba to his death of lung cancer is a can't put down book. ♡♥♡♥TO ALL THE LUCY DESI FANS. WHAT A STORY OF INTENSE LOVE For each other despite THE DEPRESSING TIMES.

If you have other books about Lucille and Desi, they would have the same information but this book is a great reference book. Their friends and people that worked with Desi and Lucy knows that they never stopped loving each other even both of them remarried. Now they are in heaven together again, their love just gets deeper and deeper.

This book has some really good information about Lucy and those who were associated with her throughout her career. It is a must read for any Lucy fan. Lots of information that I hadn't heard before. The encyclopedia format was a little difficult to adjust to at first but it made it an easy read that everything was organized by topic. Very interesting!

This particular book should be bought in hard cover instead of an e-book. It is more of a reference book to be used when Lucy questions come up. As far as information it is jammed packed, maybe to much in one book.

I thought I knew just about everything there was about Lucy. This books goes over all of Lucy's life and everybody she worked with and then some. It is enjoyable to just read it thru but an excellent resource to just look up things about her life. Want to get some information about Fred Mertz....you can find it easily. I even discovered that Lucy and Desi were not the first couple to have a baby on their tv show. To find out who , well you'll just have to find the book and read it for yourself.

Everything you could ever want to know about Lucy...in one place! I bought a copy of the second edition a few years ago and liked it very much, but I was disappointed that there were no pictures inside. Well, the author has taken care of that in this new fourth edition, and then some! There are lots of pictures, many of which I haven't seen before. The cover photo alone is a real knockout! Not only that, but the book size is bigger and there are many more new entries. It looks like it has been totally redesigned. And if you ever needed to find out anything about Lucy, it's an encyclopedia format, so just look alphabetically (there's also a huge index). I love Lucy, and I love this book! Highly recommended.
