Maybe I\'m doing something wrong here, but I just got through the first chapter, and noticed the images are not showing on my Kindle Fire. Any suggestions?

I love the idiosyncrasies of Amazon. It is now possible to buy a used copy of Adam\'s book from a third-party dealer for MORE than the cost of buying new directly from Amazon. Not only that, but you\'d also get the honor of paying for shipping!

Less than a month in, and it\'s already a collector\'s item!

Take THAT, Gil Fates!

No, it\'s not just you; I\'m seeing captions but not pictures on the Fire, while I am seeing pictures just fine on the e-ink Kindle. Also, it does not appear to respect the Line Spacing setting on the Fire, whereas all formatting settings appear to work on the e-ink version. Weird.

I\'m having the same problem with this book on my Kindle Fire. This works for me, so far: Reposition your Fire by 45 degrees, clockwise or counterclock, and then turn it back to its previous position. Voila ... Pictures!

And while I\'ve got you ... Adam ... Congratulations on the release of this beautifully written and researched work. I know the potential audience is limited ... but here\'s hoping you sell thousands.

I ordered my Amazon paperback copy on July 30. It qualified for free shipping too. Nice bonus. I should get it between August 6 and 10.

Update - got the book today (Aug. 3). They delivered it to me yesterday but I wasn\'t home. It took them forever to find it in the post office but I got it. Lots of interesting pics I haven\'t seen before, like the one of his childhood home in Pittsburgh, courtesy of Matt Ottinger.

I spent 2 and 1/2 hours reading this book at the library. Fascinating insights of the man. I\'m reading randomly and skipping around. The most interesting story I\'ve read so far is about Milton Berle when he was on \"Hot Potato\" - boy, what an ego!

Hey, if I were hung like that, I\'d probably think a lot of myself too.

I dare you to make this your signature.

http://www.newsandsentinel.com/page/content.detail/id/576078/Vienna-native-writes-book-about-game-show-host.html?nav=5061\'>Hometown newspaper ran a story about the book.

Adam, I\'d read in the article that you have \"five other books that haven\'t been published yet.\" I\'m curious, are they all game show related, and is it the four-volume set mentioned earlier, plus one other book?

Yup. The four volume set, plus another biography. I don\'t have a title to give you for the next book, because I\'ve been trying to come up with a good one for it, and frankly, I\'m drawing a...(puts on sunglasses) blank.

A recent article at this link: http://www.wvpubcast.org/newsarticle.aspx?id=31633\'>http://www.wvpubcast.org/newsarticle.aspx?id=31633 tells the subject of the other biography.

BTW, Adam, I recently finished reading your Cullen-bio, and really enjoyed it!! Thanks and Congrats!

Also, any word on a release date on the four-volume set?

I\'m 66% through the book and thought I would try this. It worked for one picture and that was it. :-(

Hey, since this thread has been bumped and I\'ve now finished the book, I\'d also like to add my accolades to Adam on a job well done. I also want to thank Adam especially for being so kind when I stopped by Madame Tussauds last month to get him to sign my copy.

Looking forward to the next ones!

An excellent job by Adam. Well done. I sent Adam a personal note and gave the book a five star rating on the amazon.com website.

BUMP!

To everybody who bought a copy of Quizmaster:

Please turn your book to page 250. The question that Gene Rayburn read was \"John said to Mary, \'I think you have the makings of a fine (_____).\'\"

And the reason we now know this is because 50 years ago, some employee of the National Broadcasting Company thought the prank was funny enough to make a note of it in the network\'s official program files for the show. So...go ahead and jot that down in the margins.

Gene was right; Pickle is a rotten answer for that.
