Copyright 1972. By Rochelle Reed, who doesn't get a byline on the cover or the spine.
The pet ownership history of pop stars, like the Osmonds, Jackson Five etc. At least 50 animal stories within.
I thought the guy on the cover holding the hypnokitty was Rick Springfield, but it's Michael Gray. Yeah, never heard of him either.
Mark Lindsay gets a chapter, the last. But he gets a killer opening line:
"High on a mountaintop in Hollywood, a lonely genius walks his Doberman pinschers into the sunset, the two tall, lean dogs galloping around his heels."
Readability-wise, the book is skimmable at best. The best passage by far:
"Mrs. Jackson was just about to pass the roast beef when she spotted Jermaine's fancy 'bracelet'. Leaning over the table to get a better look at this incredible decoration, she still didn't know it was a snake - until Fred began to move!"

"Michael and Melancholy" deserves another mention.
