THREE STOOGbS SCRAPBOOK JEFF LEN8URG JOAN HOWARD MAURER GREG LENBURG $18.95 Larry, Curly and Moe Guess what? N'yuk, N'yuk, N'yuk. The Three Stooges are back! Yes, that's right. Moe's daughter, Joan Howard Maurer, has co-authored the first "definitive, authorized" book on Moe, Larry and Curly. "The Three Stooges Scrap book" boasts 375 photos of the stooges and 288 pages of Stooges trivia and mania. (Did you know a Three Stooges Deli is open in Ham mond, La? Or that a movie about the stooges will star their sons?) The authors also claim that the book has the only accurate history of the team and — for the first time, of course—con tains individual and intimate biographies of each stooge. (Did you know there were four different Curlys? Did you know that stooge grandsons will write that script that will star stooge sons?) (Did you know that Moe's daughter lacked the "driving impulse to poke someone in the eye or hit 'em in the head." Would that still make her a stooge-daddy's girl?) — "The Three Stooges Scrap book," Citadel Press, $18.95 Natural art Let the artist in you escape — enter a photo, painting, sketch or piece of needlework in the Nature Art Show at the Brazos Center.
