Great tribute to our Jaynie, but Frank, it's about that...
...GRAMMAR! I read Diamonds to Dust with love--likely the same kind of love the Author shows in writing this book. I was prepared to love it, and in fact I did. But the grammatical and style errors take some of the shine away from the quality of the narrative itself. And for this reader at least, detracted from the reading experience of an otherwise wonderful book. Was the spell-check working? Was there a proof reader or an editor involved? I have to wonder. The Author tells the story of Jayne Mansfield's life with a casual, engaging, and conversational style. The photos are intimate, and there are many I've never seen before. The photos are, however, small, muddy, and dark. Some are hard to make out. I wish the photos had been more carefully tended before publication. Color and black-and-white mix would be nice, too. All this whining notwithstanding, don't hesitate to buy this book. Diamonds to Dust is a gotta-have for Mansfield fans, and I'm one of 'em! Just fire your computer, Mr. Ferrucchio, and hire an Editor. Meanwhile, I look forward to reading your next book, and I'm very glad that you wrote this one.
