• Miss America was a #1 New York Times bestseller and appeared on the list for 16 weeks—selling more than nine copies for every one copy of the next bestselling book on the list.

• Miss America joins Janice Dickinson’s bestselling No Lifeguard on Duty and Anthony Haden-Guest’s The Last Party in the new It Books “IconIT Classics” series. Stern is the perfect addition to the program, which highlights important and iconic pop culture books. Among the other titles in the series will be Orson Welles’s Mr. Arkadin, Tina Turner’s I, Tina and Norman Mailer’s The Faith of Graffiti.

• BACK IN PRINT: The hardcover (ISBN: 9780060391676) and mass market (ISBN: 9780061095504) editions of Miss America have been out of print for several years, making this trade paperback edition the only in print edition.

Hilarious, offensive, and with a bizarrely entertaining full-color photo insert of the famed shock-jock radio host in drag, Miss America is Howard Stern at his very best. With chapters about his ongoing battle with the FCC and his legendary campaign for the governorship of the State of New York, Miss America covers some of the biggest news stories of the last decade—from the Atlantic City penis sandwich debacle to an exclusive with Jackie O’s embalming-fluid delivery boy, and, of course, Philadelphia’s own fecal-obsessed Uncle Ed.

Chapters include:
• The History of Howard’s Hair
• The Stern Ponderosa: Romeo Stern, Pamela Anderson, and the Yentas
• The Fruit Doesn’t Fall Far from the Scumbag: Covering the Biggest News Stories of the Decade
• Long Live the Beast! No One Else Has the Right to Be on the Radio but Me
• The Country Is Out of Order: Howard Stern for Governor
• Extortion: How the U.S. Governments F**ks You and Me

Irreverent, obscene, and inimitable, Howard Stern is at his best in Miss America.
