As you all know, Bryan Burrough wrote the book "Public Enemies" that the new movie is based on. Bryan has been very kind to us here on JDR and spoke with us at length and also mentioned us in his "Vanity Fair" column!

Dear All:
Hi, everyone. This is Bryan Burrough, author of Public Enemies. Just wanted you to know I've got a new book being published this week. No, Johnny Depp isn't yet affiliated with it in any way, but hey, who knows, maybe there'll be another movie in it!
Anyway, the new book is called THE BIG RICH: The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes. It's the story of the four wealthiest oil families in Texas -- the Hunts, Murchisons, Basses and Cullens -- how they made their money, and in some cases how they lost it. I like to think it's a pretty fun read, lots of Texas-sized antics -- H.L. Hunt was a three-family bigamist, as you probably know -- as well as the scoop on their private islands, football teams (the Cowboys!), mansions and politics. If you'd like to know more, you can check out my new website, bryanburrough.com.
I'll be out on tour promoting the book for the next few weeks, in New York, Washington, Philadelphia and, during the week of Feb. 2, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and Dallas. As they say, check your local entertainment listings to see if I'm appearing at a bookstore near you. I'll be happy to chat about Public Enemies, the book or the movie, and to sign a copy of the book, if you bring one along. Thanks!
Best wishes from snowy New Jersey,
Bryan
