Leonard Maltin knows movies. He’s been writing about them since he was a teenager, has published numerous editions of Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide, and served as the president of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Giving sound film advice, Maltin provides smaller doses of his movie knowledge in Leonard Maltin’s Movie Crazy newsletter and on his website leonardmaltin.com.

Currently featured on his website is glowing praise for the new cowboy coffee table book, Hopalong Cassidy – An American Hero, published by Gemstone Publishing. He starts with flattering, and well deserved praise of Grace Bradley Boyd, Bill Boyd’s widow. Maltin wrote about his impression of the biography, which Grace co-wrote with Michael Cochran. He highlights exciting features in the book, giving a delicious taste of what’s to come.

The article, called simply, “I Love Hoppy,” is currently the second feature on his website’s homepage. To order a copy of Hopalong Cassidy – An American Legend, call 800-322-7978 or visit gemstonepub.com.
