Introducing: The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons
May 25, 2010 4:00 pm
I just received a copy of my latest book, The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes, directly from the printer and snapped the photo above for you to see (also a few sample spreads below, click thumbnails to enlarge. Forgive the blurriness of my cel phone camera). The pictures make the book look larger than it is. It’s actually a compact 7 inches tall and 9 1/2 inches wide, loaded with 216 pages of information and color images. It retails for $24.95, but amazon.com has it for $16.47. Next Tuesday, June 1st at 8pm, I’m hosting a screening and book signing party at my usual monthly event at the CineFamily – Silent Movie Theatre on Fairfax Ave. in Hollywood, CA. I’ll be screening ten 35mm classic Looney Tunes (some in IB Technicolor) and clips from most (if not all) of the other 90 selected for the book. A limited number of books will be flown in from the printer, making this the first place on Earth you can purchase the book and get it with my autograph. It will start appearing in bookstores and comics shops in the U.S. and Canada sometime during in June. I hope you like it. Buy two – it makes a great gift!

Hey Jerry – I have been looking at this book for a while now on Amazon (it is already in my shopping cart waiting for it’s release!) – so I think it is safe to say, I will be buying a copy!
Looks great! I’ll make sure to pick up a copy when it comes out!
the Amazon people will surely love you toDAY!! Can’t wait!!! Congratts, again!!
If I had money this would be the first thing I’d buy.
I would have preferred if the book were called the 1000 gratest. :)
Thanks,Jerry—just preordered mine from Amazon.
I just ordered my copy.
Does the book give credit to everyone who offered suggestions?
I will buy it soon!
Oooooh! Gonna buy this one!
“I WANNA EASTAH EGG!
I WANNA EASTAH EGG!
I WANNA EASTAH EGG!”
(AND JERRY’S BOOK!)
Ill definitely be getting this once i get paid.
That’s fabulous! Congratulations!
I’ll be looking forward to getting this, but you should also consider writing a book about Tex Avery’s work.
I forgot to mention in the post above – Please join our 100 GREATEST LOONEY TUNES Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/100-Greatest-Looney-Tunes/116177865066480?v=wall
Wow, looks great! Can’t wait to check it out. Congrats!
Damn Jerry, looks great! I’ll try and make it…
Congratulations! It’s definitely on my wishlist!
Terrific!!!!
Already have ordered this one from Amazon. Hope this does so well it inspires WB Home Video to come out with a matching box set of DVDs.
Lookin’ sharp… can’t wait for that new book smell.
Please come to NY for a signing/promotion. The book looks gorgeous.
YES. Easter Yeggs is in there. Definitely my favorite Looney Toon cartoon ever. I hope it’s in the top 10.
I pre-ordered it too.
It looks fantastic!
Awesome looking book Jerry! This is definitely a must.
Wow! Congrats. It looks tasty, Jerry. I look forward to devouring it.
Just in time for me boithday, Doc!
Nina’s got a great idea. Also come to San Francisco (it’s closer than NYC). We love you here. And I’ll escort you to the new Disney museum.
Congratulations Jerry! Looking forward to picking up a copy.
And so…it shall be ordered!!
Can’t wait to pick up mine!
…Jerry, what exactly *was* the final list? ICSTR ever seeing that posted. Am I going to have to limp into the Barnes & Ignobles and skimp through the book? :P
Looks phenomenal and I have it on pre-order at Amazon!
I just got my copy! It’s a classy treatment befitting these classic cartoons. If you’ve seen the shorts already, the commentary by different historians and artists still makes it worth a read, and if you haven’t seen these cartoons, boy, are you in for a treat. Well done, Jerry!
This is on my wishlist, and I doubt I’ll wait too long to get it.
I’m looking forward to it.
I like what is shown inside.
Hope there are some selections that will surprise me and predictability is kept to a minimum.
I’m giggling with excitement.
Looks like fun! Now if WB would only show the dam*ed cartoons again.
Is there a specific date the book will be available??
