PRIVATE PARTS – HOWARD STERN
$50.00
This is the book that launched my celebrity collaboration career and made me the most infamous “ghostwriter” ever. Howard, genius marketer that he is, talked about me and him working on the book for a solid year before its publication. That day I accompanied Howard in his limo, still driven by Ronnie, to the Barnes and Noble on Fifth Ave in the 50’s. We didn’t make it to Fifth when Ronnie told us to get out of the limo and walk the rest of the way because something had happened and Fifth Ave was closed and the traffic was totally jammed up. What had happened was that thousands and thousands of Howard fans had jammed the streets near Barnes and Noble, lining up to get their book signed. Walking into the bookstore with Howard to the cheers of thousands made me feel like the Fifth Beatle, Murray the K! The book is a rollicking greatest hits of Howard’s career and was made into a memorable movie by Ivan Reitman and Betty Thomas. It was the one of the fastest selling books in history and it got great reviews. Like from Fred Shuster in the L.A. Daily News who wrote, “Forget “SeinLanguage.” Put down that copy of “The Bridges of Madison County.” Howard Stern’s “Private Parts” is the most entertaining read to come down the pike since you discovered your sister’s diary in her underwear drawer.” Exactly!! Even the staid old New York Times loved it. Walter Goodman wrote “Breasts, behinds, insults, and a lot of kvetching from the self-described sweetest radio personality on the planet….”Private Parts” catches the voice that…agitated the FCC….Stern socks it to currently protected species. “ We have a hard cover that can be signed and inscribed to your friend or enemy!
