    I would say the best is “Long Live the King” by Lyn Tornabene. “Clark Gable” by Warren Harris is ok too.

    As a fan, I’d love to know more about Mr. Gable, and read some biographies about him. But, meanwhile, I can’t stop thinking of maybe, Mr. Gable wouldn’t like people to dig out of his past and private life, and publish them. After all, he was so much cared about his privacy, and never talked much about his life and himself.
    What a struggle! 😰
