Title: This is Jeopardy!
Post by: MikeK on March 16, 2004, 07:08:13 PM

According to Amazon.com, a new Jeopardy! book is supposed to be released sometime this month.  Here's Amazon.com's page for the book. (http://\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0760753741/qid=1079481960/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/102-3890733-8784914?v=glance&s=books&n=507846\")  In addition, Alex Trebek will be signing copies of the book at the Barnes and Noble at Lincoln Center in NYC on May 4 at 7 PM.

The Jeopardy! staff member I'd MOST LOVE to see write HIS OWN book!

Who is Johnny Gilbert?

The author, Ray Richmond, is TV critic and columnist for the Hollywood Reporter, the show biz trade paper that doesn't require a glossary.  :)  Thanks to Reuters using THR and other VNU trades for its entertainment coverage, his work is seen in papers all over the world.  He also was doing a weekly television commentary for LA NPR station KCRW, but I guess an engineer forgot to bleep out an F-bomb in one of his commentaries like Sandra Tsing Loh, since he's not on the station's web site right now.

I saw this book on display at a recent visit to Barnes & Noble. Lots of colorful pictures of all the various sets and goings-on behind the scenes.

Am I to assume this new edition will contain Ken Jennings info ?

The only way the book would contain any info on Mr. Jennings would be if a last second addition was made just before printing.

Of course, that's highly unlikely considering it gives a publish date of June 1, 2004...

But don't forget Ken's shows taped in February and March, so it's possible.

Given the publisher is Barnes & Noble books, I'm surprised Amazon's even stocking it, but anyway...

If it is an import (if it's oversize and full color -- I haven't seen it myself, so I really don't know -- it was likely printed in Asia), then it was printed in about March or April at the latest.  It takes about three months from releasing text files until books hit a publisher's warehouse for anything printed in China, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.
