It's worth having, I think. Merle Atkins Russell donated a lot of personal stuff for scanning. It's a little on the formal side but there are some interesting letters. Little bits and pieces that fill in some of the unfamiliar areas of Chet's life.
...that's how it looks to me...The opinion expressed above is my own and does not necessarily reflect the views of this station. Your mileage may vary...

That should do it.

May be old news but this thread prompted me to try to order the book again. It came today and is well worth the $20. Someone here had remarked that Paul Yandell was not included in the exhibit. The book is supposed to complement the show and at a quick glance I see Paul and Chet together on page 62. Some things are duplicates of the exhibit app for iPad but I am glad to have the book in my hands.
