Question:I'm having a hard time trying to find information on Lionel Barrymore for a research project. So far I have found four books: The Barrymores, The Barrymores: Hollywood's First Family, The Barrymores: The Royal Family in Hollywood, and The House of Barrymore. Can anyone find me any other books? Websites would be good too. Thank you. :]

Not to be rude, or anything, but gee, that's pretty much the end all and be all of Barrymore lit.
However, there are any number of MGM histories, and that sort of thing.
I'd certainly try the imdb and TCM, for starters on the net.
Also, (for the record) Errol Flynn's autobiography has some wonderful anecdotes about John.
Nonetheless, LB was phenomenal. Good luck!
