1.Steps in TimeSteps in Time
from Cooper Square Press

Customer Review:
I have been a fan of Fred Astaire since the early 1970s when I stumbled upon "Follow the Fleet" on television. I saw just about every movie he had made, over the next year or two, and that was before videotapes and dvds or cable television, so I had to catch them whenever they just happened to show... more info

2.[no image]Fred Astaire: A Wonderful Life
from Carroll & Graf Publishers

Customer Review:
I found this book to be a very in depth look at the life of Fred Astaire. It's a must for any fan. However, after reading his autobiography, this book doesn't have the same amount of humour and charm. For a biography, it's great.

from Duton

Customer Review:
This retro-review is for,sadly,the now out of print 1987 paperback edition of "The Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers Book".This is a re-released edition by Obelisk Books in 1987 and pretty much looks like the original hardcover edition printed in 1972 throughout.
I was really shocked to see that... more info

4.Astaire and RogersAstaire and Rogers
from Columbia University Press
Price: $78.30

Customer Review:
I agree with Meriam -- this book is SO DRY, SO UNBELIEVABLY ANALYTICAL it's ridiculous. In fact, I would suggest that if anyone who has never seen an Astaire/Rogers film managed to get through this book, they would never WANT to see one. How anyone could write about Astaire and Rogers without... more info

5.Footwork: The Story of Fred and Adele AstaireFootwork: The Story of Fred and Adele Astaire
from Candlewick
Price: $12.23

Customer Review:
Yes, this book tells the story of Fred and Adele Astaire in a way that kids understand, but it doesn't give a child any reason to care about them. It reads like a resumé -- "first they did this, then they did that, then they did the other thing."
The illustrations are nice out of... more info

6.The Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers Murder CaseThe Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers Murder Case
from St Martins Pr

Customer Review:
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were a wonderful on-screen pair and everyone loved their simple charm. I think Baxt captures that charm in this little book. Like all of his celebrity mysteries, this is a satire, and I think it portrays the McCarthy hearings quite well. Life in Hollywood in 1953 was... more info

8.[no image]Fred Astaire
from Doubleday

Customer Review:
He has been gone for almost twenty years now. Yet, his dancing is still fresh. When the world becomes too coarse, when things are going too fast and everything needs a good dose of class, I think of Fred Astaire. He was the epitome of grace, enthusiasm and kindness. Like Audrey Hepburn, if there... more info

from Roberts Rinehart Publishers

Customer Review:
I have read this book several times and recently got on Amazon to order several copies for Christmas presents. This book, while it discusses Fred Astaire, is actually the love story of his daughter and her husband, their journey to leave Hollywood behind by buying a cottage in Ireland and the many... more info
