Anyone:

Don't mistake my lenghty review.

I agree with Ted. For the dollars involved, you either want it or it's a crap shoot. You might like it, you might not.

But for anyone who specifically asks...it is not substantially a "Columbo" book.

it seems from above the title Just one more thing is misleading. I guess if Jack Webb from Dragnet tv show wrote a book it could be called Just the Facts Ma'am, or if Carrol Oconnor wrote one it would be called Hey Meathead or Life with a Dingbat.

its unfortunate the actors are so indentified with the role. I suppose in their minds the one defining role for the fans is not exactly how they see their own life.

Peter Falk obviously did a lot of other things, but it sounds like all the items in the book are rather lightly referenced.

I probably will get the book but thanks for the notice. I imagine the Columbophile book even if it were readily available ( is it anywhere ? ) would be far short of all the info on this web site.

well..i enjoyed it. but i will say again that i am not only a columbo fan but a peter falk fan.

Look anyone, I'm not disagreeing with Cassa either.

She was the first to report here that she had it in hand.

For me, like Ted, it was a "must read".

I don't think it should take a detective here....find it in a bookstore...peruse a few pages here and there....decide if it's what you like or expected.

Oh, and just one more thing...Mrs. Columbo would get it at the library....probably the first in line to reserve it.

That way there is money left for Holy Name Society raffle tickets and free cruises.

bob!!! who is this 'anyone' poster that you're speaking to???????

Thanks, Bob, for the review. It's very helpful.

Peter had said, in an interview not very long ago, that he had other ideas for the book's title (I don't remember if he said what the other possible title(s) might have been) -- then he added that he had a feeling the publisher would want him to call it "Just One More Thing".

Which is understandable, and believable.

Seems to me the title is a good fit with the book's format, as a series of collected anecdotes and thoughts, one after another without an overall narrative plot. But the marketing purpose is pretty clear, as with the cover-photo of Columbo. Who can blame them.

I'm not surprised at the book's title either.

Obviously the title has a twofold interpretation. One: it was a catch-phrase from his defining role; Two; it really is descriptive of the essence of the book.

I bought a book several years ago by Clayton Moore. It had a lot of things in the book other than The Lone Ranger. Of course it was truly interesting and informative, but he didn't go into feelings and real behind the scenes riveting data. Of course I wasn't on a Lone Ranger website either where I got a lot of info. His info was therefore new to me.

His book was aptly entitled: "I Was That Masked Man". (For those of you who never saw the show...every episode ended with someone asking: "Who was that masked man?"...and someone replying "Why that's the Lone Ranger".

That was quite a detailed review, and I thank you very much.
