Summary: An Awesome Book
Review: I think this is such an awesome book, especially if you are a huge Lucille Ball fan like I am. Rick Carl illustrated all the pictures and he did a marvelous job. All the beautiful dresses Lucille Ball wore on I Love Lucy were all illustrated just the way you would imagine it if the show had been in color. I recomend this book to everyone who likes I Love Lucy. It would be a wonderful gift for anyone.

Summary: IF YOU LOVE LUCY YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: I've been watching I LOVE LUCY for years and never knew what I'd been missing until I bought this! Allan Glaser's book gives a peek at the clothes Lucy actually wore in color (after only seeing them in black & white on tv) and in the most wonderful detail. This is a real treasure.

Summary: I love Lucy's costumes, and you will, too.
Review: If you love Lucy, you'll just love this. Allan Glaser has put together a delightful, nostalgic panorama of costume designs from some of the best of Lucille Ball's onscreen moments. He has written an excellent introduction full of fun Lucy costume facts, and provides detailed commentary throughout the book. Photos from some of the many I Love Lucy episodes abound in this charming volume. Shown in conjunction with the paper doll designs, this puts the costumes into their historical context. Glaser also helpfully notes the specific episodes in which each design appeared. Illustrator Rick Carl outdoes himself with eye-catching recreations based on the original costume designs, most of them by Academy Award winner Elois Jenssen.All in all, if you love Lucy, this is a book for one of those "reserved" spots on your bookshelf--reserved for the best.

Summary: Brings Color Into A Black and White World
Review: The artwork is terrific - on a variety of levels. First of all, it's gorgeous and ful of energy. The detail is astounding. Second, it's amazing to FINALLY see these outfits in color after only seeing them in black and white since what seems like the dawn of time. And the book keeps it all fun and lively! I highly recommend it - and the price is right. Buy two - one to keep and the other to cut up and play with.
