Everybody on the Truck-The Story of the Dillards<\/a>
\nby Lee Grant<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"AutographedAutographed by the Original Dillards!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This book is out of print and RARE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even more rare is that this copy is autographed<\/strong><\/em><\/span> by all four of the Original Dillards: Doug Dillard, Rodney Dillard, Mitch Jayne and Dean Webb<\/strong>. That makes this a truly special collector’s item, besides being a really interesting book.<\/p>\n

This 168-page history of the Dillards is filled with great information about the Darling bluegrass group–with a substantial portion devoted to their time in Mayberry. Lots of firsthand comments from the original Dillards and from Maggie Peterson and Denver Pyle, who also wrote the Foreword. Dozens of rare photos. Includes the never before published words to songs that made Charlene cry, which are sure to make you laugh.<\/p>\n

In a word, Outstanding!<\/p>\n

NOTE: All proceeds from the sale of this copy go toward TAGSRWC’s\/Weaver’s annual commitment of financial support of the Mayberry Days festival in Mount Airy, N.C.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

A Guide to Television’s Mayberry R.F.D.<\/a>
\n<\/em>by Dale Robinson & David Fernandes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"AGuideToRFD\"<\/a>
\n$29.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second terrific Mayberry book by David Fernandes and Dale Robinson (authors of The Definitive Andy Griffith Show Reference<\/em>), is 225 fact-filled pages of fun reading for any fan of Mayberry.<\/p>\n

Now available in softcover, this is the first book devoted entirely to the “R.F.D.” years of Mayberry. It provides detailed, episode-by-episode information about everything you might ever want to know about what happens in “Mayberry R.F.D.” It has extensive notes about the show\u2019s cast, crew and guest stars, plus there\u2019s a beautiful foreword by Arlene Golonka.<\/p>\n

We sadly lost great Mayberry friends David and then his cousin Dale far too soon in the last few years, but this book and their Definitive Andy Griffith Show Reference<\/em> are lasting legacies of their special brand of detailed scholarship and their love of Mayberry.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Goober in a Nutshell<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

by George Lindsey<\/strong>
\nForeword by Ernest Borgnine<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This 1995 autobiography by George Lindsey has been out of print for a few years, but George’s family has graciously provided us with a few copies, which George had kept safe all these years, to use as fundraisers for some charitable causes that meant a lot to George.<\/p>\n

The copies we have are still pristine, carefully preserved by George since publication. The 210-page paperback covers highlights of George’s fascinating life from childhood in rural Alabama to New York and Hollywood to Mayberry and Kornfield Kounty. It’s filled with wonderful photos and many adventures, both hilarious and poignant.<\/p>\n

All proceeds from the sale of this book go toward TAGSRWC’s support of the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival in Florence, Ala.<\/p>\n

Choice of either plain ($15) or a special autographed copy<\/strong><\/em> ($100).<\/p>\n

Murder in Coweta County DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n$16.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

This popular and critically acclaimed 1983 made-for-TV movie stars Andy Griffith<\/strong> as the wealthy John Wallace and Johnny Cash as Sheriff Lemar Potts of Coweta County. It’s riveting to watch the two entertainment icons as adversaries in this fascinating film, which is based on real events in Georgia.<\/p>\n

June Carter Cash is also featured among the fine cast of character actors. And of special interest in a pivotal role is Cindi Knight<\/strong>, who became Mrs. Andy Griffith about six weeks after this movie was first broadcast.<\/p>\n

For years this film has been extremely difficult to find, except overseas and on old VHS tapes. In time for its 30th Anniversary this year, we’re pleased to be able to offer it on DVD!<\/p>\n
