Ten years ago, Mitch Albom wrote a small book about the last days of his beloved professor's life to help pay the man's medical bills. Ten years later, that small book, "Tuesdays With Morrie," is the most successful memoir of all time, having sold more than 13 million copies worldwide.
On October 23, Albom and Doubleday Books will celebrate the occasion by releasing a special 10-year anniversary edition of "Tuesdays" that will include a special "Afterword" from Albom, who, until now, hasn't written anything new about his mentor and friend, Morrie Schwartz. In these new pages, Albom looks at the enormous effects of "Morrie" since it's publication in 1997. He shares personal thoughts on how Morrie's wisdom has forever changed him and others. And he talks about the positive feedback he's received – and continues to receive - from every corner of the globe.
