‘A Time It Was’ on the NY Times Bestseller List

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

NY Times Bestseller list
The hardcover non-fiction list for June 22nd, 2008. We’re in at #35. (You can view the full list on nytimes.com or a screengrab of it here.)

This weekend, A Time It Was made the New York Times bestseller list for hardcover non-fiction. Thanks so much to everyone who has picked up the book! It means a lot.

In the meantime, here are a few other stories on the book that have appeared in the press in the past few weeks: my former LIFE colleague Bobbi Baker Burrows was nice enough to write something on the project (and me) for Digital Journalist, and there have been other stories in the Baltimore Sun, CNN American Morning and NPR. There’s also a small excerpt from the book on the History News Network.

Thanks again for all of your support.

Cheerz,
Bill

A Time It Was

If you happen to be channel surfing in the coming week, you may catch me on the air chatting about the release of A Time It Was. If you’d like to tune in, here’s a rundown of what the very kind folks at Judy Twersky public relations have set up:

Sunday, June 1st, 2008: I’m scheduled to be on CBS Sunday Morning this weekend. (You can find local listings here.) Update: Video is now online.

Thursday, June 5th, 2008: If everything goes according to plan, I’ll be on The Today Show at some point during the 8 o’clock hour, after which I’ll make my way over to WNYC 93.9 FM Radio to talk to Leonard Lopate. His show airs at noon. If you’re not in NYC, you can also listen in online.

Friday, June 6th, 2008: Joe Scarborough’s morning program, Morning Joe, on MSNBC, will have me on as a guest about 8 a.m.

Thanks again for all of the support!
