Cartoon Success Secrets: A Tribute To 30 Years Of Cartoonist Profiles

Rating:
Summary: Good overview, but Jud Hurd everywhere
Review: The book is definitely interesting, if you want a collection of interviews with a lot of cartoonists from the past decades and to learn more about them, their life and success.
Unfortunately, while this is quite interesting and gives a condensed overview, there are some things that I did not like that much:
- Jud Hurd, Jud Hurd and Jud Hurd everywhere. The author seems to be very proud of his life and contacts, and appears on virtually all the pictures (I exaggerate) and prints all "thank you" letters from famous people that he ever got. You get the feeling it's more a book about him than anybody else.
- quite some typos in the book
- and several strips are printed twice in the book (even on the same page). Better editing would have been nice.

Overall, I really recommend the book, but be aware to filter mentally Jud Hurd's ever-presence to a reasonable level. That's why I give it 4 stars.
