'HOLY MACKEREL, GUYS!!!

This is the Gumby-lover's dream come true! The writing is so honest and compelling, and what a life story your family has had, Joe! Hats off to you, Joan for the very loving and deeply honest vibe to the writing. You two collaborated so beautifully on this project. Reading the book feels like going into the heart and soul of your family and hearing how Gumby emerged from it, in all Gumby's incarnations.

The photos are absolutely amazing, and what a journey your family had through life. The fun and the love and the creativity are apparent on every page, but especially apparent is the honesty. That's the unique beauty of this book; everything is told in such a kind, heartfelt way, no holds barred.'
