Praise for Dick Van Dyke's previous book, My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business:
"In my opinion, ‘Luck' has little to do with Dick Van Dyke's life. It is, rather, his innate kindness and talent that have had an extraordinary effect in shaping the man. And what a fascinating self-portrait he's given us in this book." — Mary Tyler Moore
"From the time I worked with Dick on the movie Bye Bye Birdie, I have admired his many talents, not the least of which is the joy and enthusiasm he shares with audiences. I'm a big fan of his... and his book." — Ann-Margret
"Van Dyke tells a wonderful story about himself and his times. And — in an often surprisingly relevant manner — our times. We've always liked the performer — it's hard not to like Dick Van Dyke — but this will make you admire him." — Playbill
