with a heart of gold.” —San Francisco<br />

An absolute must-read for anyone who<br />

loves books<br />

One for the Books<br />

Joe Queenan<br />

In Closing Time, Joe Queenan shared how he became a voracious<br />

reader to escape a joyless childhood. Now, like many bibliophiles,<br />

he fears for the books that once saved him. In One for the Books,<br />

Queenan examines the entire culture of reading and what books<br />

really mean in people’s lives today. What does it suggest if a person<br />

has no books displayed in his living room? Can an obsession<br />

with reading prove detrimental to one’s well being? How useful<br />

are covers in selling books? Queenan’s many fans—as well as<br />

anyone who loves books and reading—will want to join him on his<br />

unforgettably funny and moving journey.<br />

n Named one of the best books of the year by the<br />

New York Daily News and the Kansas City Star<br />

n Joe Queenan’s previous book, Closing Time, was a<br />

New York Times bestseller<br />

n Queenan has been a guest on The Late Show with<br />

David Letterman; The Daily Show; Today;<br />

Good Morning, America; Charlie Rose; and<br />

Late Night with Conan O’Brien<br />

Joe Queenan is the author of nine books and writes<br />

the “Moving Targets” column for the Wall Street Journal.<br />

He lives in Tarrytown, New York.<br />
