The Price of Gold

The Toll and Triumph of One Man's Olympic Dream

By: Marty Nothstein,Ian Dille

The harrowing, triumphant tale of a cyclist's journey to Olympic victory and the price he paid to achieve greatness. Marty Nothstein, one of the greatest cyclists of all time, arrived at the 1996 Olympic Games a heavy favorite. In the match sprint at the Atlanta Olympics, an event akin to prizefighting on a bicycle, he raced around a banked, oval track. Nothstein lost by a hair's width on the finish line and vowed to win the gold at the next Olympics, saying, "I didn't come here for a silver medal." In The Price of Gold, Marty Nothstein eloquently and honestly tracks his journey to the games in Sydney and the events that molded him into the world's fastest man on a bicycle—from his tough-love upbringing in a blue-collar, split home, to the "borderline outlaw" cast of cycling characters who helped guide him through the ranks. "I had to become the worst, to become the best," Nothstein says of the single-minded determination that turned him into a veritable monster on his bike, but often forced him to neglect his own family. Sure to become a sports classic, this book will be published in time for the 2012 Olympics, when the world's eyes are trained on London and international conversation will turn to the question of what it takes to win the gold.

20 Minute Gardener

Garden of Your Dreams Without Giving Up Your Life, Your Job, Or Your Sanity

By: Thomas Christopher,Marty Asher

The 20-Minute Gardener is a hands-on, user-friendly guide based on low-maintenance organic techniques that puts the fun back into gardening as well as the money back into your wallet. This book represents gardening for "the rest of us." It covers everything from choosing the right plants (ones that are easy to care for) and shopping for them, to designing your garden without graph paper and getting rid of pests (see Chapter 9, "Peter Rabbit Had It Coming"). All in just 20 minutes a day. In addition to the basics are Tom and Marty's easy-to-follow, inexpensive 20-minute projects, such as "A 20-Minute Nocturne," in which a workaholic/commuter (in this case, Marty) can create a garden that he/she can enjoy after dark, or "Rooting for Roses," in which Tom tells you how he takes cuttings from the most self-sufficient, well-adapted, and flourishing roses around--for free! Finally, there are tips and lists galore. Find out how to read a fertilizer label, what kind of tools to buy (note that Tom says don't listen to Marty on this one because he "thinks the scuffle hoe is a square dance he did one time when he was down in Texas"), and how to make the most of your neighbors' kids, and read "Tom's Sixteen All-time Favorite Connoisseur Plants" and "Marty's Top Ten Garden Plants" (number one: grass). And remember, if all else fails, Chapter 11, "Gardeners Anonymous," features a five-step program for horticultural self-help (step one: gardens are from Earth; gardeners are from Mars!). It's like Marty says--this book "is the most fun you can have in the garden without throwing dirt!

Shirley & Marty

An Unlikely Love Story

By: Shirley Jones,Marty Ingels,Mickey Herskowitz

An American sweetheart from Hollywood and former Miss Pittsburgh marries a failing Jewish comic stricken with agoraphobia. Shirley Jones, singing star of "Oklahoma!" and "Carousel" and Oscar-winner for "Elmer Gantry," was the mother of three sons when her husband, alcoholic actor Jack Cassidy, left her in the middle 1970's. Jack had a new girl--and problems facing up to Shirley's success and teen-age son David's big earnings as a rock idol. Stand-up comic Marty Ingels, on a downslide after a failed TV sitcom, followed by an on-camera nervous breakdown on The Tonight Show, began pursuing her, slyly moved into her apartment shirt by shirt, and captured her. Then came the day when Shirley could not explain Marty's presence in her apartment to a plumber; Marty said it was time to marry--and they did. Marty's phobia turned out to be correctable. Cured, Marty discovered a new skill and set himself up as a talent broker for TV spots, and thus Ingels, Inc. was born. This unconventional dual bio has many wacky moments as Marty reels under the influence of his illness, and never a dull page.
