Information on Roland Young – Roland Young and Thorne Smith were great friends. If you can locate a copy of Young’s "Thorne Smith: His Life and Times" consider yourself fortunate as copies are extremely rare and quite valuable. I’ve assembled a little information on this versatile actor and author career.

Thorne Smith in the New York Times – A wonderful article by Stephen Whitlock that appeared in the October 19, 1997, NY TIMES Sunday Section: Arts and Leisure Desk.

Authors Who Influenced Thorne Smith – There were several, but these are a few Smith cited in interviews.

Thorne Smith's Gravesite – Smith is buried in Queens at Mount Olivet cemetery. If anyone has taken a picture of the gravestone, I’d be more than happy to post it.

Christopher Moore's Web Page – Christopher Moore, the author of such great humorous novels as "Blood Sucking Fiends," "Island of the Sequined Love Nun" and "Practical Demonkeeping" is a wonderful writer writing in the "Smithian" tradition. As a fan of Benchley, Smith and others from the old school - he carries the comedy torch one step further with each new book. Check out his site - highly recommended!

Similar Authors  - If you like Thorne Smith, you may find these other authors to your liking. 

Recommended Book Search Services  - My first choice is to search Ebay. 9 out of 10 times you can acquire Smith’s books cheaper. If you’re looking for the harder to find items (i.e. first editions, "Lazy Bear Lane" or "Dream’s End") then I’d utilize one of these sellers.
