    Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

    Praise for Andy & Don: The Making of a Friendship and a Classic American TV Show : "A lilting labor of love, a book that captures a golden moment in modern Americana. You'll not only return again to Mayberry, you'll feel as though you've never left." --Tom Shales, Pulitzer Prize-winning television critic and author of Live from New York "An intimate look into the lives of two thoroughly unique human beings who became not only household names but icons. What a thrill to take a peak down the alleys of Mayberry and beyond." --Billy Bob Thornton "Well-researched and discerning, Andy and Don shows us Griffith in both darkness and light: a haunted, powerful actor as well as the gentlest of comic straight men." --Scott Eyman New York Times bestselling author of John Wayne "A delightful, affectionate tribute to the show, and to the two stars whose unique chemistry, both on and off the screen, was the key to its enduring appeal." --Richard Zoglin, author of Hope "This is the book about The Andy Griffith Show you didn't know you needed. De Vis shows that Griffith and his equally famous sidekick were far more complicated, troubled--and interesting--than their public personae ever let on." --Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, author of Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted "The true story of Andy Griffith's and Don Knotts's incredible friendship. A penetrating and moving tribute." --James Carville, political consultant "A rewarding dual biography that is the definitive story of their friendship . . . As a story about a TV show and a creative partnership, Andy and Don satisfies. It's also a lively look inside the entertainment industry in the latter half of the 20th century. But more than anything, it's the story of a beautiful friendship." -- News & Observer "An engaging, well-researched portrait of what made one of the great comedy duos of the television age tick." -- News & Record "The perfect holiday gift for your aunt, uncle, grandma, or hipster niece, this well-written, often eloquent chronicle is just what fans of the show have waited for every fan of The Andy Griffith Show -and the great actors and writers who made it come alive-will treasure it." -- Missoulian " Andy and Don will be a must for any Andy Griffith Show fan and anyone with a taste for showbiz gossip." -- Star-News "This is the story of their friendship, filled with laughter and stories about this classic TV pair. Andy and Don is a must read for any Andy Griffith Show fan." -- Grand Forks Herald "[A] delightful book . . . A well written, respectful, and informative look at a classic TV show and the two friends who made it great. Delicious comfort food for boomers and, really, anyone with cable." -- Booklist (starred review) "[A] tender tribute . . . De Vis offers an intimate look at the lives of these two stars, and his access is invaluable to understanding their lifelong friendship. He captures the complexity of both men and the intimacy of their friendship with extreme detail and sensitivity." -- Publishers Weekly "This book by a Knotts in-law shows how the magic was created . . . De Vis examines the childhood, early careers, and outsize ambitions of both men, explaining why their chemistry made them click. By turns humorous, informative, and poignant." -- Library Journal "Veteran journalist de Vis returns with a plethora of memories about actors Andy Griffith and Don Knotts." -- Kirkus Reviews
    Synopsis
    In July 1986, Greg LeMond stunned the sporting world by becoming the first American to win the Tour de France, the world's pre-eminent bicycle race, defeating French cycling legend Bernard Hinault. Nine months later, LeMond lay in a hospital bed, his life in peril after a hunting accident, his career as a bicycle racer seemingly over. And yet, barely two years after this crisis, LeMond mounted a comeback almost without parallel in professional sports. In summer 1989, he again won the Tour--arguably the world's most grueling athletic contest--by the almost impossibly narrow margin of 8 seconds over another French legend, Laurent Fignon. It remains the closest Tour de France in history. The Comeback chronicles the life of one of America's greatest athletes, from his roots in Nevada and California to the heights of global fame, to a falling out with his own family and a calamitous confrontation with Lance Armstrong over allegations the latter was doping--a campaign LeMond would wage on principle for more than a decade before Armstrong was finally stripped of his own Tour titles. With the kind of narrative drive that propels books like Moneyball , and a fierce attention to detail, Daniel de Visé reveals the dramatic, ultra-competitive inner world of a sport rarely glimpsed up close, and builds a compelling case for LeMond as its great American hero., Fame. Fall. Redemption.
