This entertaining book about the Bassett family, company and town is a NY Times bestseller. It was announced today that Tom Hanks will produce a HBO miniseries based on the book. Here is web address for the news article: http://www.roanoke.com/news/local/tom-hanks-will-produce-factory-man-miniseries-for-hbo/article_7d044ca2-ee63-5676-83ef-39e5570a39f6.html
The book is about the rise and fall of furniture and textile manufacturing in the area where we grew up with Bassett Furniture and John Bassett III as focal point. |
