Mabel Normand: A Source Book to Her Life and Films (8th edition) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781793845344)

Over two decades in the making, Mabel Normand: A Source Book to Her Life and Films (8th edition), although primarily a collection of contemporary magazine and newspaper articles about silent film comedienne Mabel Normand; also includes an introductory biography, essays on her film work, interviews with fellow actresses Minta Durfee Arbuckle and Anita Garvin, an appendix section specifically examining the William Desmond Taylor case, comprehensive Filmography, and Bibliography.

"This mammoth book is not a 'biography, ' although it is filled with biographical material. As the title indicates, it is a 'source book to her life and films, ' and as such is far more valuable than any mere biography. Buy it, read it, treasure it..." Bruce Long, author of "William Desmond Taylor: A Dossier"

"Mabel Normand: A Source Book to Her Life and Films deserves wide readership. No reference library should be without it. It is a gallant and eminently worthwhile attempt to resurrect Mabel Normand to her rightful place in film history."
Anthony Slide, film critic and historian.
