Query: Why now?

This book is poor. It really doesn't cover Taxi, because Zmuda wasn't welcome on the set. Kaufman's past is retold better by Bill Zemhe. Zmuda spends little time on his(Kauffman's) childhood, and a lot of time on himself. The only thing you can't get anyone else is firsthand accounts of his caurousing, which I can live without.The book beat Zemhe's book to the presses. If Zemhe's book had been first, I never would have bought this one.Zmuda is just a friend who is making a quick buck or two. It's obvious that he never cared about Taxi, and considering the astounding lack of depth concerning Kaufman's childhood, it's clear to me that he was never really known, but less liked by the Kauffmans. Buy Zemhe's book. Unless you want R-Rated Kauffman exploits, don't waste your money on this.
