The Groucho Letters:
Letters From and To Groucho Marx
by Groucho Marx
$16.00 (Simon & Schuster, softcover)

Donated to the Library of Congress in the mid-1960s, Groucho Marx’s correspondence was first crafted into this celebration of wit and wisdom in 1967. Reissued today with his original letters and humor intact, The Groucho Letters exposes one of the twentieth century’s most beloved comedian’s private insights into show biz, politics, business, and, of course, his illustrious personal life. Included are Marx’s conversations with such noted personalities as E. B. White, Fred Allen, Goodman Ace, Nunnally Johnson, James Thurber, Booth Tarkington, Alistair Cooke, Harry Truman, Irving Berlin and S. J. Perelman.

“Gentlemen:

If you continue to publish slanderous pieces about me, I shall feel compelled to cancel my subscription.

Sincerely,

Groucho Marx”

On the Move
by Bono
$12.99 (Thomas Nelson, hardcover)

When Bono, the lead singer of U2, was asked to speak at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC in 2006, no one knew what to expect. The same is true when one opens this small yet powerful book. The pages are filled with the words of Bono’s speech and with photographs that he himself took on his first trip to Ethiopia in 1986. All royalties from On The Move are being donated to the ONE Campaign.

“We never anticipated that once we achieved our freedom we would face another challenge of this magnitude. We cannot win this fight on our own, and we rely on people like Bono to help us beat this pandemic.”
—Nelson Mandela


Things I’ve Said, But Probably Shouldn’t Have:
An Unrepentant Memoir
by Bruce Dern, Christopher Fryer, and Robert Crane
$24.95 (Wiley, hardcover)

Bruce Dern has worked with practically every iconic actor and director in the last fifty years, and he’s not afraid to say what he thinks about all of them. His career has run the gamut from B movies to Z movies to becoming an Oscar nominee, and he’s created some of the most indelible performances in modern cinema. Now, in this uniquely funny memoir, he looks back over his amazing career, telling one memorable story after another and giving key insights into how placing artistic challenge over career development has kept one of Hollywood’s greatest actors from also being one of its most rich and famous.

“Every bit as unpredictable, compelling and explosively honest as [Bruce Dern] is onscreen.”
—Newsday


Not on Our Watch:
The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur
and Beyond

by Don Cheadle and John Prendergast
$14.95 (Hyperion, softcover)

Over the past five years, youth groups, religious organizations, politicians and individuals have responded to the crisis in Sudan in increased numbers. This book is a guide for these already involved, as well as those who are interested in taking action, or speaking out against the mass killings that continue to occur in the country's Darfur region. Coauthored by Cheadle, actor and star of the film Hotel Rwanda, and Prendergast, senior adviser of the International Crisis Group, the book is filled with practical information, instructions, memoir and history.

“Don and John are two of the great champions of ending this genocide. With this book they remind us that the individual can change the world for the better. And they also remind us that we all bear responsibility in this crime against humanity. I’m proud to call them my friends.”
—George Clooney
