Hello,
it would like to know which books exist by or about the MARX BROTHERS.
I would be thankful if you could email me any information
(Title / Author / Publisher / still in print ?).
I will post a summary.
Thanks, Stefan

He describes their three Broadway shows and all the films, and tells most
of the famous Marx brothers stories, as well as some I'd never heard before
(Harry Ruby and the $80 bathrobe, for instance.) The extensive Notes section
shows the amount of research he put in.

Harpo Speaks
by Harpo Marx with Rowland Barber
Published by Bernard Geis Associates
Distributed by Random House, NY
Copyright 1961 by the authors
Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 61-7834
(no ISBN in 1961)
Harpo Speaks is one of my old favorites - he was clever and
personable, and lots about him was interesting - his family and
upbringing, his career, his peers.
If I'm not mistaken, it's been out in paperback within the past
three years (though I'm not sure).
