Desilu: The Story of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz by Coyne S. Sanders

Great story of Desilu studios - as well as semi biography of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Arnaz was really the business genius behind the studio which became very successful until his drinking and womanizing destroyed their marriage. He was innovative in filming techniques and good at recognizing good scripts and talent. There is a typo on page 99 where the word "singing" was used in place of the correct word "signing". Highly recommended.
