“Cosby always makes things look so easy. This compelling book tells us it wasn’t always so. A revealing, honest look at my favorite comedian.” -Billy Crystal

Cosby: His Life and Times is the first major biography of American icon, comedian Bill Cosby. Through extensive research and in-depth interviews with Cosby and more than 60 of his closest friends and associates, author Mark Whitaker chronicles Cosby’s life, telling us how, after dropping out of high school, Cosby turned his life around by joining the Navy, talking his way into college, and seizing his first breaks as a stand-up comedian — and beyond. For Classic TV Fans (as I hope you are :), the book reveals the behind-the-scenes story of Cosby’s groundbreaking sitcom, The Cosby Show, as well as his breakout role on I Spy (Cosby was the first African-American man to co-star on a television show) and his pioneering place in children’s television.

We have a total of SIX BOOKS to give away — four books via Twitter and two books via Facebook and this blog. Click here to find out how you can enter and win!
