Book Similar to "Andy and Don"

[Jerome Graber]

I just finished reading a book that reminded me of "Andy and Don" (which I 
thoroughly enjoyed).Although it was not TAGS related it may be of interest to 
some of you as it was about  the stars of another 60's TV show-Star Trek.It is 
"Leonard" by William Shatner.  In the book Mr. Shatner talks about his 
experiences with Leonard Nimoy on Star Trek and the life-long close friendship 
that they enjoyed.  It was encouraging to read about another couple of TV 
costars that genuinely loved each other.
