    Eve was dead. This much journalist Bazil Potter distinctly understood. Until the evening when he sees her on the TV news, in a clip filmed in Budapest, the city where she died. A clip all recordings of which are swiftly destroyed on the orders of government, the government Eve worked for. He may have no proof, but Bazil knows what he saw and he knows it was Eve. Because no man forgets his wife. So begins Bazil's journey of discovery. A journey that takes him back to Budapest, a city still tormented by memories of Soviet oppression, a city where shady diplomats and ruthless gangsters lie at the heart of a story Bazil knows he will never be allowed to tell, the city where his parents were born and where he buried his wife. Or at least what was found of her in the Danube. A single, severed hand.

    The Dean Martin Association Journals is a project that endeavors to reproduce all 415 issues of the DMA's newsletters, spanning 51 years between November 1960 and September 2011. In 2019, The Dean Martin Association had originally considered embarking on reprinting the entire run, instead settling on a 'best of' with For The Good Times - The Dean Martin Compendium (ISBN 9798758215487). Due to the unexpected success of that 2021 publication and the interest from readers both young and old in our continued work as ambassadors to Dino's life and career, we have decided to go back to the DMA's roots to re-release the newsletters in book-form.From day one the DMA (originally - and very briefly - called "Dino's Fan Club", then, until 1 April 1973, "The International Dean Martin Club"), was a news and information service - so that's predominantly the format that you'll see here. The style was chatty and relaxed, written by the DMA staff including our founding president Bernard H Thorpe and - very, very occasionally - by Dean himself. The journals were called Letter From Dino up until May 1968. They bore no title from then until September 1987, when the journals were named Just Dino. While the first fully illustrated edition didn't appear until that latter date (the very early journals had a single photograph on the top left of the front page), we have taken the editorial decision to occasionally include images where appropriate and contemporary to the date of the bulletins and articles. The journals offer both a fascinating glimpse into the development of a society dedicated to a Hollywood icon and a set of contemporary accounts of that icon's career "as it happened". We will always humbly recognize our good fortune and know that we were very privileged indeed and immensely honored to be associated with Dean Martin and his peers. We were uniquely positioned to report on Dean's career, announcements and updates as soon as his office in Hollywood informed us. We built solid professional relationships too with EMI/Capitol and Warner/Reprise, which naturally extended out to licensees and film companies. We met and crossed paths with innumerable people on the way, exchanging correspondence with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Jimmy Bowen and of course Dean. We are hugely proud of our heritage and we thank everyone who ever supported us and all who still do. For those of you who were with us in our heyday, we hope this will be a journey of remembrance. For those just joining us, welcome our world...won't you come on in...

    FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED FOR 2023 "I sang some songs, acted here and there, but no way would I call myself exceptional. I just hope I did my best for my audiences." A somewhat self-deprecating comment from Dean Martin on his own career. It was this laid-back approach to his work, however, that belied an incredibly hard-working, dedicated and professional entertainer. From humble beginnings as the son of an Italian immigrant, Dean properly started his professional career in 1943, peaking with his award-winning, ratings-busting weekly variety show for NBC in the 1960s. As well as counting Frank Sinatra amongst his closest friends and a tempestuous 10-year partnership with Jerry Lewis, Dean recorded countless hit singles, sold millions of records and starred in a string of hit movies. Bernard H Thorpe first got to know Dean in the fall of 1960. Together they formed what would become The Dean Martin Association, the first and only official, independent organization dedicated to Dean in the world. For the next six decades, Bernard was a staunch promoter and ambassador of Dean's career across the globe, being instrumental in many of his top-selling UK album releases. Fully revised and updated and with a foreword by actor-singer Mark Adams, Dean Martin Recollections is a unique re-telling of the life and vocation of a legendary celebrity who scaled the heights of Hollywood to attain world-wide fame, and the story of how an unassuming family man from the British media industry became a dedicated advocate and friend.
