Screen images from Abbott & Costello films are combined with captioned dialogue to recreate many of the comedy duo's classic routines. Shemp Howard appears on pgs. 92 - 139, as the book recreates the "Lemon Bit" and "7 x 13 = 28" routines from IN THE NAVY (1941), and a few cameo shots taken from IT AIN'T HAY (1943).
Other recreated comedy sketches are taken from BUCK PRIVATES (1941), BUCK PRIVATES COME HOME (1947), KEEP 'EM FLYING (1942), IN SOCIETY (1944), HIT THE ICE (1943), HERE COME THE CO-EDS (1945), and of course, "Who's on First?" from THE NAUGHTY NINETIES (1945).
Dust jacket artwork on the U.S. edition is by Al Hirschfeld. A paperback edition released in 1974 by Avon Books, with the same cover art. A 1973 edition was published in the UK by Studio Vista Publishers, featuring photos of Bud & Lou on a red dust jacket; no interior differences to the American edition.
