Title: How Sweet It Is
Description: It's the first 100-proof book ever written! Nearly a quarter-century ago, James Bacon, a close friend of Jackie Gleason since 1949, wrote How Sweet It Is, the definitive biography of The Great One, an intimate portrait of the outrageous comedian and revealing tribute to his relationship with hard-drinking conspirator Toots Shor. Writes Bacon, "When not working on the TV show, Jackie indulged in his great hobby -- lousing up Toots Shor."
