Dewey Decimal System Defeats Truman! : Library Cartoons |
Scott McCullar
McFarland & Company;
078640521X |
Reviewer:
Scott McCullar is perhaps the Gary Larson of library humor. What Larson did to dinosaurs and cows, McCullar has done to the overlooked world of libraries. Funny, inventive cartoons abound in this book. His clear, straightforward art helps showcase his inventive comedy writing. If you've ever worked in, or even checked out a book from, a library, you'll appreciate his demented, wry outlook.

Interlibrary Loan Sharks and Seedy Roms : Cartoons from Libraryland |
Benita L. Epstein
|
Library Journal
Epstein, whose work has appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, Wilson Library Bulletin, and Punch, portrays in 114 whimsical cartoons a libraryland that is both odd yet familiar. Good for a chuckle.

Uncensored Thoughts : Pot Shots from a Public Librarian (Unseries, No 4) |
William Manley, Richard Lee (Illustrator)
McFarland & Company;
|
From Book News, Inc. , June 1, 1995
In his inimitable style, Will Manley, columnist for Booklist and American Libraries, delivers the Manley Maxims (e.g., the more committees a library has, the less efficient it is), flies by the seat of his pants, looks at library education and other aspects of the library and book world, sifts through assorted politically topical matters and generally has a jolly time of it. Fun for browsing.

What's next for libraries now that books are slated for extinction? Ordinarily you'd ask a librarian, who would ordinarily recommend-of all things-a book. Maybe even this one. Except, well, once upon a time there was a succubus...

Warrior Librarian Gold Edition |
Amanda Credaro
Ill. Peter Lewis
To be published in 2002 by Libraries Unlimited. |
A.B.Credaro(No relation)
An outrageous laugh at (and with) the library profession. The cartoons and illustrations alone make this book worth buying. New material not available from the Warrior Librarian Weekly website, together with the most popular of the web material - by popular demand. If you only buy one book this year, this is the one you should get!
