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.

DPs: Europe's Displaced Persons, 1945-1951 is one of the best written history books about a time often ignored by most authors.

Mark Wyman uses a unique approach that covers all sides involved in the years after World War II, a very traumatic, complex time.

Reading this book it becomes easier to see why so many scars remain for so many people years after the fact.

This book made me cry, it made me remember, it helped me understand myself so I may heal my own DP scars.

For anyone interested in this time of history, this book is a must read.

This book can also help expand understanding and social consciousness of the reader.

It is easy to read, easy to follow and a great social contribution.

I kept turning pages to see what happens next to our cousins that returned to their mother countries. The US was certainly not utopia for all that came here. Wyman stays tight and true to his subject, but the words flow so easily I read the book in one sitting.
