From where I sit: Merv Griffin's book of people par Merv Griffin

Some interesting information on people I saw on tv or were in the news when I was growing up but hadn't paid close attention to.

Merv: Making the Good Life Last par Merv Griffin

Delightful, well written autobiography by Merv Griffin. This fun-to-read book explores Griffin's early family life and beginnings as a big band singer, migrating to talk show host, television game show creator, to hotel magnate, entrepreneur and millionaire many times over. The book is easy to read and goes quickly. I only wish the captions for the photos had been with the photos instead of in an index in the back.
