Symptoms of Withdrawal : A Memoir of Snapshots and Redemption by Christpher Kennedy Lawford is scheduled for publication in October, "a memoir . . . that is going to knock everybody's socks off," says Liz Smith in the New York Post. "This book is mesmerizing. You can't put it down. It remains that way until Chris 'gets religion' towards the end and dwindles his impact with preachy, repetitious AA platitudes and a rousing narcissistic 'recovery' that includes leaving his faithful devoted wife of 17 years and their three young children, in order to realize himself in sobriety."

Park; The Story of the World’s Richest Apartment Building "which
will be in the stores in October is a riveting document of the city’s social
history from the time of the building’s construction which began about the
time the stock market crashed in 1929 right up to today. Now considered one
of the best addresses in the city, it was built by Jackie Onassis’
grandfather James T. Lee," says the
New York Social Diary.

What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love, by Carole Radziwill, widow of Anthony Radziwill, is scheduled for publication on September 26. "In a way Carolyn [Bessette] and I were both self-invented," Radziwill reveals in her book excerpt in the new issue of O, reports the New York Daily News. "The difficulty for self-invented people is they have to reconcile what they were back then with what they are now."

Arnold Schwarzenegger "hasn't written his memoirs yet, but he granted three long interviews to veteran biographer Laurence Leamer, who, along with researching Arnold's personal history, interviewed his friends and political associates as well. The result--'Fantastic: The Life of Arnold Schwarzenegger'--is a close look at the man who rose from being an Austrian carpenter's apprentice to becoming leader of his adopted land's largest state. "Despite the cooperation Mr. Leamer received, his book is not hagiography. All his subject's low-life moments are presented, from his cruel jokes and harassing sexual overtures to his obsessive narcissim."--from a review "The Governor Is Still Pumped" by John H. Fund in the Wall Street Journal.
The
New York Social Diary says that
Martha Stewart will be moving to Beverly Hills.
July 5, 2005 Martha "Stewart has two TV shows planned for the fall season — a one-hour daytime talk show 'Martha' and a version of the NBC reality show 'The Apprentice.' "She says her version of 'The Apprentice' will be different than Donald Trump's and that she doesn't want to be portrayed as mean and harsh. She says she would never use Trump's catchphrase, 'You're fired.' "'We are trying to come up with other ways to say it,' she says. 'For instance, if someone is from Idaho, I could say, `You're back in Boise for apple-picking time."'" --from an Associated Press article at yahoo.com. July 1, 2005 In the new book Looking at Los Angeles, editors "Marla Hamburg Kennedy and Ben Stiller have gathered pictorial representations of Los Angeles from the last three-quarters of a century, resulting in this selection of more than 200 stunning, beautifully reproduced color and duotone depictions of the city from different eras and different points of view," says the book description at amazon.com. New York Social Diary has photos of the book's launch at the gallery at Hermès in Los Angeles
