This was just sent to us -- and posted on Amazon and B&N -- by one Bruce Graham, from LA., a fan who will soon be a friend when Jon and I meet him this Friday or Saturday at the Hollywood Collector's Show in Burbank, CA

"This book is absolutely terrific, not just for movie and TV fans, but also
for any adult who might be preparing for, or currently struggling with,
success, challenge, frustration, or failure. Do you enjoy Hollywood movie
history, or info about legendary stars and classic TV? Or perhaps when
growing up, you watched a favorite child star perform and dearly wanted to
be like him or her, thinking life would be so fun, rosy and glamorous to be
so popular, cute, rich and famous. Perhaps you dreamed it would bring fast
cars, beautiful living, smart clothes, endless friends and gorgeous dates.
Well, now's your chance to personally experience what all this might have
been like. But beware. Things are not always what they seem. Sometimes they
are more.

In this very special and unique autobiography, you'll become a member of Jon
Provost's family, past and present. You'll feel right at home, following the
young actor through all the ups and downs, hopes and dreams, thrills and
chills (not to mention pains and strains), of a childhood spent working in
50's and 60's movies and television. You'll be transported into a wonderful,
yet sometimes strange and even downright dangerous world of wild success,
fame and fortune.

Fame does bring great stuff, attention and privileges. It's all here in this
book, with amazing, wonderful, unbelievable, incredible times. You'll meet
many famous adult and kid stars backstage and in real life, as well as
numerous regular friends and coworkers, too. Their impressions and
perspectives, both positive and negative, are quite candidly included.
Family and off-camera photos on practically every page help to set the
period and mood.

But fame and success bring even more. And the extra stuff is often not so
good, seldom anticipated, or even understood, not only by the person at the
center of the maelstrom, but also by family, friends, employers and fans.

In this book, Jon Provost and his entire family circle confide their
personal lives with a most rare honesty and openness. It's a deeply personal
journey toward success of a different kind. You'll find it hard to stop
reading. I recommend it very highly. Just as his character "Timmy" did on
Lassie, Jon Provost is still teaching us valuable lessons about life, but
this time through his own."
