Palm Trees on the Hudson is the hilarious prequel to Elliot Tiber’s bestseller Taking Woodstock. Before Elliot found financial success by bringing Woodstock Ventures to his upstate motel, he was one of Manhattan’s leading interior designers. Then, Elliot’s career came to a halt due to a floating society party, Judy Garland, and the Mob. In April 1968, Elliot was hired to throw an elegant dinner party aboard a luxury yacht on the Hudson River.

Long ago, people spent their entire lives making a living on the sea. Fraser was one such person. As an old man with a wife and grandchildren who needed him home, his only desire was to retire happily and leave his sword fishing days behind.... One day, a desperate schooner Captain, aware of Fraser's exploits as a renowned sword fisherman, asks him to go back to sea one last time.

In this third volume of his memoirs, following the critically acclaimed Palm Trees on the Hudson and his breakout best seller Taking Woodstock, Elliot Tiber chronicles his hilarious, madcap, and often heartbreaking adventures in the entertainment industry. Guided as much by chutzpah as by his creative drive, Tiber travels around the world always looking to grab the brass ring. And everywhere he goes, from Hollywood to Brussels, Tiber makes his indelible, irreverent, unique mark.
