Books and DVD's from The Dailey Show

This page is a work in progress.  It may take some time to get everything listed so please have patience.

The Dailey Show With Jon Stewart often has guests who talk about their books, CD or film.   Unfortunately we often forget the titles of the ones that interest us.  As a service to my friends I have listed many of them below along with the date or week of the show.  If you would like to purchase the book (soft cover, hard cover, download), CD, or DVD simply copy the title and insert it into the Amazon.com link on the right hand side of the page.  You can also use the link for anything Amazon.com sells which is what I did last Christmas when I couldn’t find the time to go out shopping. 

If you have read any of these books, heard the music or seen the movies and wish to comment, please feel free.
