Small remainder mark on lower page edge. "The Way I Heard It began as a collection of short stories pulled from my podcast -- a simple attempt to satisfy listeners who wanted written versions of my weekly five-minute mysteries. That, according to my mother, was "the very definition of lazy." So, I sat down to explain why I wrote these mysteries in the first place. Before I knew it, that new material turned into something deeply personal and entirely unexpected. The result is what you're holding: a curious mix of memoir and mystery. I suppose you could call it a "memstery," but that's not really a word, so let's just call it what it is -- a book. Inside this book, you'll learn about my strange foray into the belly of the Baltimore Opera, my various humiliations in the home shopping industry, and my many run-ins with dirty jobbers, bloody do-gooders, B-list celebrities, and Hollywood hotshots. You'll also meet my mom and dad, who continue to upstage me at every turn. Mostly, though, you'll learn why I write about famous people I've never met, and what I discovered about myself in the process. It's not the book I sat down to write; it is, however, the book that wanted to be written. And now, it's the book I hope you'll read. It's The Way I heard It. - Mike Rowe, from the rear outer jacket. "A ridiculously entertaining, seriously riveting collection of favorite episodes from America's #1 short-form podcast, The Way I Heard It, along with a host of memories, ruminations, illustrations, and insights from Mike Rowe. Executive producer and host Mike Rowe presents thirty-five fascinating stories "for the curious mind with a short attention span." Short mysteries about people you know, filled with startling facts that you didn't. Movie stars, madmen, heroes, and heels: they're all here, waiting to shake your hand, hoping you'll remember them. Delivered with Mike Rowe's signature blend of charm, wit, and ingenuity, their adventures are part of a larger mosaic -- a memoir crammed with surprising revelations, sharp observations, and behind-the-scenes moments drawn from a remarkable life and career." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
