After reading an article about George Dawson, a 98-year old man who was just learning to read and write, Richard Glaubman began making regular visits to Mr. Dawson. The resulting collaboration led to the book, Life Is So Good, published by Random House. More Than a Book recounts the story of what happened to George Dawson after his biography,...was published. Dawson went on book tour and met people from all walks of life. At age one hundred and two, he traveled by airplane and visited New York, Chicago and Seattle. It was as if he entered the twentieth century all at once. And just as George Dawson's life changed, that was also true for his collaborator, Richard Glaubman. During their time together on their book tour, despite differences in age, race and education, the friendship begun in a humble kitchen in South Dallas grew even stronger. In addition, More Than a Book, is a book for writers. The book details the the real process of writing, querying, finding an agent and working with an editor and publisher -- Publisher's description.
