Book Reviews of Come On Down!: Behind the Big Doors at "The Price Is Right"

Book Review: Putting a Hole-in-One
Summary: 5 Stars

There is absolutely no doubt that this game show has the "it" factor that transcends the ever-changing moods in pop culture and Stan Blits has seen the show as an ultimate insider; co-producer, music director, contestant coordinator and staff writer.

Blits provides a nice overview of the program while not getting too technical. It has the feel of sitting in the production room as he is reviewing tape while explaining things in a perfect one-on-one atmosphere.

Just like Bob Barker in the putting game, the book is a hole-in-one.
