Press Reviews:
"Totally engrossing, hard to put down! The absolute behind the scenes depth of this book is more than amazing. I cannot hold John’s book in higher regard. Not to be missed!"—Western Clippings.
"detailed… a book that is always entertaining…[Farkis] is a detail-oriented chronicler and a helluva good storyteller. The Making of Tombstone provides absorbing insight into the creation of a film many critics consider one of Hollywood’s best modern Westerns. And if anyone disagrees … well, you’re no daisy a’tall."—Wild West
