Sorry to reply to this so long after it was written, but I just came across the thread tonight. I'll have a look and see if the book is still out there. Thanks!

I have the book and have read it, and it is excellent. A well researched and well written biography. I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to learn more about Kay Kyser and his orchestra, as well as the Big Band era in general.
