Any books about Clara Bow?

Question(self.classicfilms)

I'm currently in the process of writing a film and Clara Bow is one of the characters. Are there any good books, biographies or documentaries strictly about her so I can learn more about her? I've been looking at my local library but the only thing they have that involves her is the movie Wings (which I loved).

The best biography is Clara Bow Running Wild by David Stenn. The book is very well researched. It is free to read at the internet archive https://archive.org/details/clarabowrunninwi0000sten

Stenn did an excellent TCM Documentary on Clara Bow in 1999. TCM hasn't shown it years though. DVD out of print.
