Robert Caro Reveals Details of His Final Lyndon Johnson Biography<br /> C-SPAN's Book TV

Caro outlines the entirety of his book before he starts writing. He puts his outline onto paper which he tacks up onto cork boards across his office wall.

Caro writes everything in longhand first then types/revised it on his Smith-Corona Electra 210.

Caro only gave Gottlieb a piece of his LBJ bio draft when he ran out of money and needed an advance. Otherwise, he doesn't give his editor material until he's done.

Caro lives on the corner in Central Park West

Caro was on the 22nd floor (of 29) at 250 W. 57th Street for 22 years and wrote 3 books in a one room office. Joseph Heller had an office there as well.
