In the movie Anchorman, the character Ron Burgandy was proud of his many leather-bound books.  Now, he’ll be writing a book of his own, despite just barely being able to read off the teleprompter.  In a movie designed to hype the upcoming sequel Anchorman: The Legend Continues, Random House imprint Crown Archetype will be releasing […]
