Crown Archetype to Publish Book by Ron Burgundy

Posted on September 18, 2013

Crown Archetype has announced it will publish a book by Ron Burgundy, the San Diego news anchor played by Will Ferrell in Anchorman. The book, Let Me Off at the Top!: My Classy Life and Other Musing, will be released ahead of a new Anchorman film, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.

In the book, Burgundy shares never-before-told stories of his childhood and the events that led him to choose a career in the news business. In his own words, Burgundy will share personal anecdotes about the women in his life, about his dog, Baxter, and his legendary news team. Burgundy also offers sage advice on a variety of topics that matter most to him.

Burgundy said in a statement, "I don't know if it's the greatest autobiography ever written. I'm too close to the work. I will tell you this much: the first time I sat down and read this thing ... I cried like a goddamn baby, and you can take that to the bank!"

The book will arrive in stores on November 19, 2013. It can be ordered from Amazon.com.
