This is one ‘helluva’ funny book!
Inside book jacket flaps.
Back Cover of the book.
This book is great! If you like The Honeymooners and any of Jackie Gleason’s TV Specials over the years you will enjoy reading these stories about his wonderful life. There is one that I remember very well. When he stayed at the St. Regis Hotel he frequented the in-house King Cole Bar and sat next to Salvador Dali. This drinking companion ended up drawing an album cover for his music album “The Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason“.
The rest of the book is equally hysterical and so enjoyable!
