The perennially best-selling guide to the lives, deaths, and final resting places of our most enduring cultural icons, now revised to include 25 additional entries.

By far the most complete and well-organized guide on the subject, every entry features an entertaining capsule biography full of little-known facts; a detailed description of the death; and step-by-step directions to the site of the grave, including not only the name of the cemetery but the specific roads and trails to take within the cemetery to reach the gravesite.
