      That's very sad. His Streisand books were quite good.
      He was also Hot as F.

        Sad, sad news indeed. 
        I can still remember how happy I was many, many years ago, the day I found this book here in Brazil. It was expensive, because at that time few imported books came around here. I returned home sad...but excited... collected money for a while and later I returned to the store and .. Thank God the book was still there ... and I bought it. 
        How many new photos, how much information. For many years it was my greatest Babs treasure. 
        The years passed, and, what was not my surprise, not long ago, to realize that he himself was part of this board. And even more, that he replied and commented on some of my posts in such a gentle way. Imagine, he, praise something I did. Ohh Pleeeease...Compared to what he has already done is absurd. 
        He deserves all the praise for having fed us these years with such wonderful books about our girl....and other books too.
        Well, our dear Ally now has someone to talk to as an equal. 
        Thank you for your work and your words.
        James, Surely you'll always be on my mind... and my shelf, and this way, forever will be remembered, 

        Mauricio.

          Sorry to hear about Jim's passing.
          I was trying to get information on his condition and reach out to him with my best wishes. 
          I had the pleasure of knowing Jim and working with him on Barbra Magazine and Barbra Quarterly.He was very talented and dedicated. May he rest in heavenly peace.

                    He was only 67! That seems young to me.

                    Matt did a nice interview with Spada in 2003.
