Best-selling author Bruce Littlefield is an arbiter of American fun. Hailed as a “lifestyle authority” by The New York Times, he shares his finds through his books and his appearances on NBC’s “Today Show,” CBS’s “Early Show,” and ABC’s “The View.”

He is the author of Airstream Living, Garage Sale America, Merry Christmas America, and co-writer of the best-selling Use What You’ve Got and Other Business Lessons I Learned from My Mom with real-estate magnate Barbara Corcoran.

Originally from South Carolina, he was the editor of Brookland-Cayce High School’s Bearcat yearbook, was president of the SCSPA from 1984-1985 and won the SCSPA Scholarship in 1985.

His latest book, The Bedtime Book for Dogs, is a first of its kind: a book to read to your dog.
