Love her or hate her, Joan Rivers was a force of nature. NO ONE on late-night TV is funnier than she was, and no one enjoyed themselves more. Between playing Vegas, dishing on Fashion Police, doing stand-up at the Laurie Beechman Theatre and filming one of the best documentaries in recent memory, she found time to write quite a few books. Her older titles are out of print or hard to find, but we expect that to change given the recent high interest in her backlist titles. We’ve listed our recent favorites for you here, in no particular order. Ms. Rivers, wherever you are: we wish you’d had more time, and thank you so much for the laughter.
