Books by Dr Richard Kirby

This is HARDBACK version. "I have looked for a book on Marie Prevost for a great many years and never found one, so I am thrilled that Richard Kirby has put pen to paper and written what I believe to be the first biography of this tragic star. I am a big fan of Richard's work and I'm sure that fans of the silent screen will be just as pleased as I am to have this very special book in their collection."- Michelle Morgan, author of Marilyn Monroe: Private and Confidential Desperately Seeking Marie Prevost takes a look back at the life and work of a beautiful, talented, yet ill-fated actress, who was one of Hollywood's biggest stars of the 1920s.Richard Kirby was born in York in 1964, and this is his second BearManor Media publication.

Desperately Seeking Susan Foreman is a very different Doctor Who book. Richard Kirby's personal look back at fifty years of time travel is built around his quest to obtain a signed photograph from every living female companion-from Carole Ann Ford's character, who inspired the book's title, right through to the present day and the Doctor's current sidekick, Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman). Reviews of Richard's writing style have varied from "casual" and "easy to read" through to "quirky", and fans of the program have described Desperately Seeking Susan Foreman as "exhilarating", "first class", "lovingly researched" and "like discovering Doctor Who all over again." So why not take a gentle stroll down memory lane? There's something in this book for Doctor Who fans of every age: you'll hopefully learn facts you never knew-and equally importantly, you'll discover if Richard actually found Susan Foreman!
