Sometimes we do get second chances in life . . . .

I posted the Whispersync deal of Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted: And all the Brilliant Minds Who Made The Mary Tyler Moore Show a Classic (not to be confused with Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice of same era, G. ha) about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Surprisingly (to me, I don't think that I've observed this thing before), the price of the ebook just dropped in price, again already, to the same price that it was then. The price of the narration stayed the same, so the Whispersync deal price is the same as before--$5.98.

I thought that one or more MobileReaders might like to know about this. If you missed out on the deal earlier in the month, you might want to take advantage of it now. I'm re-posting my post of 2 1/2 weeks ago exactly as it was then, with only a few minor changes (update to number of reviews, etc.)

Book Description (Amazon):
When writer-producers James L. Brooks and Allan Burns dreamed up an edgy show about a divorced woman with a career, the CBS executives they pitched replied: “American audiences won’t tolerate divorce in a series’ lead any more than they will tolerate Jews, people with mustaches, and people who live in New York.”

Forty years later, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is one of the most beloved and recognizable television shows of all time. It was an inspiration to a generation of women who wanted to have it all in an era when everything seemed possible.

Jennifer Keishin Armstrong’s Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted tells the stories behind the making of this popular classic, introducing the groundbreaking female writers who lent real-life stories to their TV scripts; the men who created the indelible characters; the lone woman network executive who cast the legendary ensemble—and advocated for this provocative show—and the colorful cast of actors who made it all work. James L. Brooks, Grant Tinker, Allan Burns, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Betty White, Gavin MacLeod, Ed Asner, Ted Knight, Georgia Engel—they all came together to make a show that changed women’s lives and television itself. Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted is the tale of how they did it.
