Although this book gives ideas for gifts, you must then order the catalog where they are located. The book was copyrighted in 1992 and some of the places I checked are no longer in business.

Unabridged audio of ANGELES ASHES written by Frank McCourt and read in his distinctive Irish brogue. The memoir tells of the unbelievable poverty of his family in depression-era Brooklyn and the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Despite this, the author "lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance, and remarkable forgiveness." Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Running time approximately 15 hours, 1997.
Listening to audio books makes cleaning the closets or rearranging drawers go faster!

This is the amusing, inspiring, and candid story of Ann-Margaret with Todd Gold. Having it read by the author gives expression to some stories that another reader would not have. Nonfiction.
