Wow--a true "Bible" of the Dark Shadows Actors Guild! A must have! I know it's early yet, but do you suppose someone is out there compiling a new bio on Jonathan Frid?
Wow ... that's an expensive book. Would love to own it, just don't have the funds at the moment. Maybe it'll get released on Nook and/or Kindle and I can get it later?
The original version is available on the Nook and I almost bought it till I saw this. I am wondering if it will include the passing of Jonathan Frid?
Yes, the book does include a mention of Jonathan's passing.
