Oprah To Release A Book About…The Oprah Show!
Posted by
This is a must-have book!
Oprah is releasing a coffee-table book chronicling the last twenty-five years of her talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show.
The book, titled The Oprah Winfrey Show: Reflections on an American Legacy by Deborah Davis, will be published on November 15 and will run about $50. Not bad for a collector's item filled with 150 color photographs that covers all 25 years of her show.
Winfrey was "extremely hands-on in the approval processes and conception" of the book, says one of her publicists.
Many celebs have contributed to the book, including:
-- Maya Angelou, who wrote the foreword
-- Bono and Nicholas Kristof, on giving and social action
-- Ellen DeGeneres, Stanley Crouch, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr., on equality
-- Julia Roberts and Diane von Furstenberg, on culture and style
-- Toni Morrison and Elie Wiesel, on books
-- Maria Shriver and Gloria Steinem, on women's issues
-- Dr. Phil McGraw, Mark Nepo and Marianne Williamson, on spirit and personal growth
-- Bob Greene and Dr. Mehmet Oz, on health and wellness
-- John Travolta and Phil Donahue, tributes to Winfrey
