COMMENTARY

"GRANDMA" RIDES AGAIN

• The following little gem appeared in a publication known as Eve Brown's Monthly in the form of a book review by Eve herself and the clipping was sent to me by one of our readers who thought I would be interested. I was, as you will see, but first the review. This is verbatim exactly as it appears with no deletions, additions or editing.

BOOK REVIEW

by EVE BROWNE

At our ball in Lakewood, N.J., I received a copy of THE TRANSVES- TITE AND HIS WIFE from Linda Stephens, Box 623, Laurel, MD. Inci- dently, you can call Linda at (301) 776-8832. The paperback is P-66 on your EVE BROWN LIBRARY LIST. It is written by Virginia Prince, the alleged "Grandma of American TV-ing."

Linda asked me to read the book and let her know what I thought of it. Having not spoken with Linda as of this writing, I shall reply to her now. With sort of an open review for all EVE BROWNE GIRLS.

Now girls, let us all keep in mind that V. Prince is no spring chicken. She lives far in the past, as can be seen just by reading any of her publications. The above book of 143 pages, copyrighted in 1967, reads like some sort of Puritan tale from the dark ages. Virginia does bring out a few good points, but the book needs editing by a good American editor and knowledgeable cross-dresser such as PUDGY ROBERTS.

PUDGY could do wonders with this book. With his forthright style and frank manner, it might well become a best seller.
