Update
(9/7/2009): I am extremely proud to announce that my latest book on Harold Lloyd - entitled Magic In a Pair of Horn-Rimmed Glasses - has been completed by BearManor Media - and is the author thrilled with the result!!!
Magic is quite a departure from other books on HL, in that it deals specifically with the Turning Points in Harold's life and career. These are the moments, the events, the milestones, that changed him, altered his methodologies, defined who he was. I am particularly proud of the fact that this book incorporates more quotes by HL than any prior book has - I personally transcribed each of his oral histories, and many lengthy interviews, in order to cull quotes and insights, by him, that help me to explain why I chose each turning point as singularly crucial to his evolution. Over 30 moments are delineated, most (all except one) peppered with his vivid words and lively thoughts. I also have many exciting new photographs which help bring the text to life, as well as many goodies seasoning the book through its pages. I dearly hope that you enjoy this book - which I had a tremendous amount of fun building for you.

The "official" release date for the book is September 20 (coincidentally, the anniversary of the release of The Freshman). However, I have secured some copies which can be personally autographed and sent out immediately. The cost is $24.95, plus $5 for USPS Priority Mail. If you are interested in a pre-release copy, e-mail

, and we'll make it happen! Thanks, as ever, for your support of Harold Lloyd and his humble biographer.
From the "When It Rains, It Pours" department: I have just been notified that McFarland & Co., Pubishers, due to popular demand, will be re-issuing my Harold Lloyd Encyclopedia in paperback this summer! The soft cover will be a direct reprint of the hardcover, which came out in 2003. The hardcover is still available at $75 (I don't price 'em, I just write 'em), but the paperback, 439 pages, 165 photos, and tons of info on all things Lloyd, will sell for $49.95. It costs less, but you get so much (heck, even I refer to it!). Please visit the McFarland website (link above) periodically for more information on the pending release of the paperback version of The Harold Lloyd Encyclopedia. And thanks.
