"Peach Weber ist der Schweizer Komiker der ersten Stunde und wohl der Einzige, der in einem neuen Programm nicht alte Nummern mit sich herum schleppt. Nebst regelmässig ausverkauften Tourneen und an der Millionengrenze verkauften Tonträgern, gilt er als 'Gäx-Epizentrum' und lässt die Menschen zwei Stunden unbeschwert lachen. Eines der Highlights seiner Karriere wird 2027 sein, wenn er im 2x ausverkauften Hallenstadion in Zürich seinen Abschied feiern wird. Dass er mit dem längsten Vorverkauf im Guiness Buch der Rekorde einen Eintrag finden wird, ist eine weitere unglaubliche Geschichte dieses einmaligen Comedy-Originals."
"J. Paul Getty (1892-1976) was a shrewd industrialist who founded the Getty Oil Company in 1942, ultimately becoming a dominant player in the oil industry. In The Great Getty, Robert Lenzner presents an in-depth biography of the savviest entrepreneur of the 20th century and the world's richest private citizen at the time of his death— worth $6 billion, the equivalent of more than $27 billion in today' s money. As Lenzner chronicles Getty's life— through interviews with those closest to him— a picture emerges of a frugal man, a truly miserly art collector, and a notorious womanizer, but also a puritan and philanthropist— and perhaps a Nazi spy."

In My Husband, My Friend: A Memoir, Steve' s wife of more than 15 years, Neile, rode the dazzling Hollywood roller coaster with him. Anecdotally, she details the actor's private personality and his feelings about his career. She also shares an emotional journey of love and pain and reveals a Steve McQueen no one knew— his good side, his crazy side, his dark side, and the inner demons that drove him."
"It's hard to believe there was only one Steve Allen! This same person created The Tonight Show, wrote more than 50 books, composed more than 8,500 songs, recorded some 40 record albums, starred on Broadway and in motion pictures, composed Broadway, television, and film scores, starred in his own television series, and created, wrote, and hosted the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Meeting of Minds. In Mark it and Strike It, Steve focuses on himself, talking about his family, his upbringing, his views, the creative process, and the business of being funny. And because Steve always brought something extra special to his work, he brightened this recording with some of his inimitable ad-libbing on the piano."
"For years, the legendary sports journalist pulled no punches. Cosell said of himself, 'Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a showoff. There's no question that I'm all of those things.' His blustery, cocksure personality ensured that this larger-than-life sports commentator remains as well known today as many of the athletes he covered. His keen insights, ability to see past the glitz, and direct manner earned him widespread respect and admiration. Above all, one-of-a-kind Howard Cosell was entertaining. Sports fans of all ages will recognize Cosell's famous voice as he chronicles the history of Monday Night Football and the jocks he shared the booth with, notably Frank Gifford and Don Meredith."

"Among music lovers everywhere, Keith Jarrett is known as an artist of rare gifts. Here he brings those gifts to a captivating discussion of his work, especially the ineffable art of improvisation--or, as we termed it here, 'jumping' (as in 'jumping off the deep edge')."

He is the man who created the marvelous 'Word Jazz' records of the late 1950s and whose voice has visited our homes on countless radio and TV commercials over the years.
