That's too funny. Great geeks think alike, apparently.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep an eye on Till The Following Night--some good stuff in there!
very cool book! Scholastic had so many great artists working for them back then...
ReplyDeleteI have this book! It was one of my favorites as a kid. Weirdly enough, there is also a name written on the cover of mine in the same place.

HI, so i want to take a moment and say that I was in grade school in the early 70's. It's impossible to express the joy I had when ordering from (Scholastic Book Services) and receiving books in my class like this one. I don't recall that I read much of them but I was elated to receive them and waited with crazy anticipation for them to arive.. I have such soft warm feeling to this day.. ahhhh... pjd
