I've added both books to my (very long) Amazon Wish List.

Anybody who reads them .... please write a review?

Alert: both of these were recently reviewed in the New York Times and are due out very soon.

I have heard excellent things about the Laura Shapiro book, and am now trying to remember where...a magazine somewhere...could it have been Entertainment Weekly? That seems unlikely...

i found the laura shapiro book pretty dull, with few fresh anecdotes or insight. the barr one had a few more glimpses behind the scenes, and stories i hadn't heard before. i'll read just about anything "julia"...anyone know if stephanie hersh (her very long-time assistant) is planning a book? how could she not, unless that was an agreement between the two? THAT is one i'd scramble for...RIP, dear julia!
