"Quizmaster" Bill Cullen biography available now!

You would think Adam would have had a little warning about this, but Bear Manor Media says it\'s available for sale immediately!


 


Our own Adam Nedeff.  A biography of Bill Cullen.  Lots of original research, new interviews and never-before-heard anecdotes.  Why are you still reading this when you could be placing your order?  I\'ve read it, it\'s wonderful.  Buy dozens, make Adam rich.

Thanks for the info.  If Adam\'s writings on Game Show Utopia are any indication, the book will be quite a treasure.

Think of it as five cents per page or 16 cents per photo.


 


And thanks, Matt!

Uh, no, I did terrible math there. It\'s 578.

Okay, that\'s still a plenty impressive number. :)


 


But I urge you to make a Kindle version available at some point down the road. Some of us don\'t buy physical books anymore, full-stop.

I don\'t own a Kindle, I apologize if it\'s a stupid question...There\'s a PDF version for sale at the link, can a Kindle not handle that?

Yes, a Kindle can read PDF files, but a) I won\'t even call it a mediocre experience, let alone a good one, and b) $33 is WAY too much to be asking for a digital document in an industry where Apple opened up antitrust cans of worms by engineering a price hike from $10 to $15 for new books from major authors, in a digital format that is much better for the reader.

I will plug this book a little bit more here...


 


.... having actually heard a few of the anecdotes from the book dictated by Adam, himself....


 


.... do yourselves a favor and buy this book. It\'s now because of some of those anecdotes that I truly look up to who I now call Bill \"Effing\" Cullen. Yes, he was the man.

Isn\'t it ironic that you can\'t really kindle a fire with a kindle but you can with paper?  I\'m old-fashioned.  I like books that are printed on paper.

Regarding a kindle version, one of my relatives has poor eyesight.  She used to listen to books on tape and CD; now she relies on the kindle.


 


The audience and the need are out there.

Adam, congrats. In following your FB posts, I know it\'s been a long road for you, but well worth the effort I\'m sure!


 


I do second the Kindle suggestion...to me, it\'s just a matter of convenience, even though I\'m a bit of a purist.
