BOB NEWHART:

crafting comedy, shaping generations

English Edition by Neil Potter (Author)  

Most of our readers will know that we have been building a bigger bookshelf around the walls of our Lanzarote Office, full of works by or about Americana singer-writers, jazz, classical and all other genres of music, such as Ska. We also have created room for figures of drama, ancient and modern, literature and stars of stage, tv and the silver screen. Of course, one man´s read is another man´s snooze but we are confident that if you have acquired all the sidetracks and detours recommendations over the past eighteen months you will already have an all across the arts library to be proud of.

However you still need to create more room.

To keep company with two of Britain´s greatest comedians, Ken Dodd and Les Dawson, in our PASS IT ON LIBRARY, we have placed the aw, shucks figure of Bob Newhart.
