"It was amazing" in this context refers to the amount of work that Robert S. Birchard did with help from 5 other folks. This aspect of film comedian Monty Banks' career was uncertain prior to this work. It does includes a short history of Banks life before and after this time frame. This book hasn't solved all the puzzles yet, but I suspect this might be as good as we can get without a large amount of luck.
Recommended to fans of Monty Banks, fans of silent film comedians, and those who like to read histories and articles about silent film studios and distributors.
