The audience for this book is surely dwindling, as I can't imagine that many people still care about the Letterman-Leno battle of the 1990s. I do, of course, and will go to my grave with a giant chip on my shoulder for how NBC treated Dave. For those of you who don't care, I'd say skip this one. There are some interesting character studies -- e.g. the sections about Leno's manager, Helen Kushnick -- but not a whole lot in here for those without some connection to late night television of that era.
