Even before his death, his son was trying to market the manuscripts, and he finally scored a sale. I held the manuscript in my hands; it was complete, polished, no extra people adding to the text. I'm glad the book is going to see the light of day; a couple of other manuscripts deserve a look as well. And no, I am not his son; I don't even get on well with his son these days. But a good book is a good book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-36898325952464032862008-09-15T12:48:00.000-04:002008-09-15T12:48:00.000-04:00C -- friends should enjoy their similarities and c...C -- friends should enjoy their similarities and celebrate their differences.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070658593726387619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-78121844826523915812008-09-15T12:26:00.000-04:002008-09-15T12:26:00.000-04:00Am amazing post, thanks!Speaking of Curious George...Am amazing post, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Curious George's first edition...<BR/><BR/>C.G. smokes a pipe in the original story.
