    • Fans raved about the all-out honesty and humor of Terry Bradshaw's New York Times bestselling memoir, "It's Only a Game." Now the legendary quarterback and two-time Emmy-winning host of "Fox Sports Sunday" shares his thoughts on how to complete life's most difficult passes. You may not know it from Terry's many accomplishments -- his television commercials; his awards for sportsmanship, broadcasting, and public speaking; or his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame -- but behind the warm smile and down-home demeanor is a man who has lived and learned not only through his triumphs, but through his struggles as well. Whether he's talking about recognizing and treating his attention deficit disorder, coping with three failed marriages, accepting his fate as the benchwarmer everyone loved to hate during his early years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, or forgiving himself for blowing $7,000 on two ostrich eggs in a get-rich-quick scheme, in "Keep It Simple," "TB" lays it on the line with the trademark wit and wisdom that have made him one of the most beloved personalities in sports history.

      The New York Times bestseller After almost sixty years as an actor, William Shatner has become one of the most beloved entertainers in the world. It was the original Star Trek series, and later its films, that made Shatner an internationally known figure, but he neither began nor ended his career with Captain Kirk. He straddled the classic world of the theater and the new world of television. He stepped in for Christopher Plummer in Shakespeare's Henry V and stared at "something on the wing" in a classic episode of The Twilight Zone. And since then, he's gone on to star in numerous successful shows, including T. J. Hooker, Rescue 911, and most recently, Boston Legal. In his touching and very funny autobiography Up Till Now, William Shatner reveals the man behind these unforgettable moments and tells us how he's become the worldwide star and acclaimed actor he is today.
