Anyone who is interested in old Hollywood must read this book.It is not only filled with pictures andrecipes, but nostalgia and history ofbygone days.Robert Cobb, not only owned the BrownDerby, but also owned a baseball team.The Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League was in existence from 1939to 1957. The Los Angeles Dodgers cameWest in 1958 and the Stars were gone.The book was co-written by Sally Cobb,widow of the owner. Her personal thoughts and love are written throughout this book. I personally ama collector of old menu's and a historian regarding the Pacific CoastLeague. I certainly was fascinated andwrapped up in the book.

A priceless photo collection of Hollywood Stars that have never been released or seen since the 1940's and 1950's. The photos are from the late Sally and Bob Cobb's personal photo collection and some photos were taken by Geroge Hurrell. The stories are captivating, heart warming and a part of Hollywood history that is a must for movie buffs and the novice a like. Clark Gable and Bob Cobb spent many years together, hunting and fishing. One night after the kitchen at the Durby was closed, Bob mixed a salad together made mostly from left overs. Since that night the famous salad has been referred to as the "Cobb Salad". The story that best describes the Cobbs is the one story about the WWII soldier..very touching! A great gift or a nice coffee table conversation item!

You don't have to be a fan of "old" Hollywood to enjoy this wonderful book about a famous restaurant and its even more famous clientele. Fascinating stories accompanied by wonderful pictures. This is only enhanced by the actual recipes of this great restaurant. A wonderful coffee table book that will start conversations about movies, movie stars and great food.

TWO FOOLS AND A HORSE is a charming new folk tale in the old style. Children will delight in keeping one step ahead of the characters and will respond to the rhthym and balance of the writing. Rayevsky's illustrations capture well Derby's wry humor in this successful pairing of story and pictures.

A charming old-style folktale matched with bold and lively pictures. Kids will enjoy the humor and the easy storytelling style, and parents reading out loud will enjoy the rhythm and careful crafting of the language. This book is a winner!

A must have children's book for any parent who has tried to remove a splinter! We borrowed it from the library and needed it for the permanent collection.

This book answers the child's question, "Where does kitty go when we let him out at night?" The book is illustrated wonderfully in dark colors, and the text is appropriate to those illustrations.

My only concern is that the book might be a little scary for younger readers or listeners. Taiko, the cat, goes on some rather realistic adventures, including staring down a strange dog and dodging a car on the street. You won't want a young child worrying excessively about the family pet, so be sure and read over it yourself beforehand. It's a great read for the right audience otherwise.
