With a thoughtful foreword by Desi Arnaz Jr., The ""I Love Lucy"" Book of Trivia quizzes readers on the details of one of television's longest-running shows. Written by the director of the Lucy-Desi Museum, Ric B. Wyman, the book's questions cover all aspects of the show, from character trivia concerning Lucy, Ricky, Fred, Ethel and Little Ricky, to the vitameatavegamin and candy factory episodes. The questions' kitschy formats include multiple-choice, fill in the blanks, matches and crossword puzzles, and Wyman also includes an episode log with broadcast dates, an answer key and b&w photographs from a number of shows, making this a fun-filled reference. Authorized by the Lucille Ball Estate. 100 b&w illus. ( Dec.)
