We'll be reprinting the Gildersleeve biography soon with More info, so please don't order yet! It's worth the wait! You can still order Gildy's Scrapbook though!

Get your Gildy gear here!

The official biography is finally here!
by Charles Stumpf & Ben Ohmart
 

The Great Gildersleeve was radio's first spin-off series, and launched Harold Peary as a major comedy star. The pompous windbag, affectionately known as Gildy, first originated on the Fibber McGee and Molly program in the 1930s. 70 years later, audiences are still laughing at radio's champion water commissioner!
 
Painstakingly researched, this FIRST book on Gildersleeve gives a detailed history of all the characters, and in-depth biographies of the cast members. Contains many RARE pictures, too!
Just $18.95 + $2.50 US postage.(If you aren't in the U.S, add $10 for airmail)
