Rich Scrivani is putting the finishing touches on a BearManor book called THE Z FILES--TREASURES FROM ZACHERLEY'S ARCHIVES. Rich, a friend of Zach's for (gulp) almost 50 years, kinda ransacked Zach's place and came away with hundreds of old (1950s and '60s) newspaper and magazine articles, clippings, etc., all related to Zach's career, plus lots of photos that may never have seen the light of day, and he (and I) put it all together in a scrapbooky kind of way. So it's like a biography (of Zach's professional life, anyway), but told almost entirely through newspaper and magazine coverage OF that career. There'll also be reproductions of some of Zach's "scripts" (I use the word loosely!), a few of the crazy prop lists he compiled for episodes of his shows, "hate mail" he received from a couple viewers who liked the old horror movies but thought Zach stunk, and (in the back) a Photo Ghoullery with four score (give or take) extra photos, right up to the present day. Some kid named Kerry Gammill is doing the cover; I hope it turns out all right.
Anyway, we worked on this all morning so we hope you like it. It should be out in the next coupla weeks.
