Sunday Nights at Seven: The Jack Benny Story
by Jack Benny Joan Benny" What was it like growing up with such a famous comedian for a father? Did he make time for her . . . share her interests? What was the relationship she saw between her parents? Was life in the Benny household all a barrel of laughs? What was Jack like out of the public eye, when he let his hair down? (That's where Jack and I were different. He would let his hair down, I just took mine off.) The point is, Joan Benny was there. She had a front row seat. And most of all, the great pleasure of this book is that so much of it is in Jack's own voice. So the pages that follow should make for interesting reading. I miss Jack. He was a nice man." --George Burns Other books about Jack Benny are available from Bookshare.

Unauthorized America: A Travel Guide to the Places the Chamber of Commerce Won't Tell You About
by Vince Staten"The travel brochures never mention JFK's Love Nest, where he and Marilyn Monroe would meet for an after-noon tryst, or Elvis's Drugstore, where the King loaded up on downers. But let's face it: not everyone wants to spend summer vacation watching Junior slither down the water slide or trailing Grandpa as he treks from one historic marker to the next. Not everyone wants a Disney World vacation. This book boldly dares to take you where no travel brochures have taken you before, to the out-of-the-way sights and the offbeat vacation spots nobody touts. This is an underground guide to America, to the places that you Really want to see: where John Lennon was shot, where Margaret Mitchell was run over by a car, where Sean Penn punched out a photographer, where Fawn Hall shredded boss Ollie North's papers. These are the places the local Chamber of Commerce won't tell you about. But we will."
