Review: THANKS so much to the Author for doing a book on one of the GREATEST people to grace the TELEVISION Screen! CAR 54, Where Are You? Is one of the BEST written and Expertly crafted TV Sitcoms to ever make it to the screen. I really feel sorry for people who have time to proof read sample pages on the internet and criticize mis-spelled words? From a GREAT book! Buy it!

Summary: You might want to rethink this Sample business.
Review: This is more a review of the sample presentation on this page, since it is supposed to entice the reader into buying the book. I'm a person who was looking forward to buying the book and now I have my doubts.
Books cost a lot of money. While I'll put up with the sloppy grammar and spelling which are the spice of life for internet writers, if I pay for a book I expect decent proofreading. What is on the front flyleaf? In discussing Hiken's greatest creation, Sgt. Bilko, the editor allows the author to misspell "Sergeant." Three times. On the flyleaf, which is supposed to dazzle us.
And then Amazon compounds the sloppiness. In going through the sample pages, I find that pages 7 & 8 aren't even from this book.
Some people claim that demanding literacy and correct spelling from authors and editors is excessive. Well -- they probably wouldn't say "excessive"; they'd say it was "sucky". Or "suckee", if they wanted to be exotic. These people make my jaw drop.
I gave three stars because it's not fair to rate a book high or low when you haven't read it yet.
*******
Since writing the above, I've read the book. It's worth the three stars I gave it. It's pretty good; worth reading. But just because there IS a book on a hitherto uncovered topic doesn't automatically mean it's a GOOD book.
