I didn't know that there was a Family Ties book. Did anyone know about this? I think it would be a cool book to read. Here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/theshark8777/book.htm

Book Title: Alex Gets the Business
Author: Joe Claro
Publisher: Avon Books
Copyright Year: 1986

I've seen it on Ebay a lot, but I've never read it. I should bid on it some day.

I have that book. I bought it at a garage sale a few years ago. I didn't realize the book was out of print and that it was the only book written about Family Ties. It is a good book.

Here's a summary of what the book's about:

When Alex gets accepted into Nu Alpha Mu, the college's high-powered business-major fraternity, he's walking on air. Mallory and Jennifer couldn't care less. Steven and Elyse are less than thrilled. And his girlfriend Ellen hopes that business fever and beautiful Nan Winters won't put their romance in the deep freeze. But when Alex decides to put theory into practice by investing in a hairdresser's shop in the local mall, he really gets the business ....and a hilarious lesson he won't soon forget!

i used to have that book too

I actually still have this book on my bookshelf at home. I remember buying it at one of those grade school book fairs.
