Peter Valenti’s book on Errol Flynn

Have any of you here ever read this book by professor and author Peter Valenti; Errol Flynn – A Bio-Bibliography..?

I bought this book as soon as it came out (’84) back then and found it interesting. It prods through difrent avenues in what was, could’ve been, and what other authors wrote about him, etc.; his movies – radio, interviews – personal letters, etc. etc…..; an objective evaluation of Errol’s total life.

Curious to know what anyone else thought about it?

@ David,  has Rory ever mentioned anything about this book in as far as you know? wonder what she thought of it also…

I recently found out that he and his wife, who is also a writer, live no more than a possible mile or two from me in our little NC golf mecca known as Pinehurst NC. (US Open tourneys held here)

I have been trying to get his email address and/or phone number in seeing if he would maybe get together over a cup of coffee or drinks, to further discus his book on our man Flynn.

I know he has been a professor of English at Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, NC for many years, and from what I know, still continues too. I was thinking of going that rout, but I surely don’t want him to think I am stalker or whatever since I don’t have any real professional means in this, not writing a book, etc. , just simply for my own personal knowledge. He had have to make some real hard research and maybe did not write it all down in this book – its like making a record and then some time later after its release you wished you could have added or deleted something from it – and in this I am thinking maybe he left out a little nugget!

Well merry men and woman of Sherwood, what do you think, to crazy?????

In any case tell what you think of the book anyway, that’s what I wanted in the first place. (sigh!)……….
