Not familiar with the book? It's the collection that brings together all the literary comics from "Sheldon" into one volume: Literature: Unsuccessfully Competing Against TV Since 1953. It takes on all the greats of Western Lit: From Seuss to Shakespeare, Twain to Tolkien. And if you're a lover of books, and haven't tried this one out...now you have the personal endorsement of my third-year English Lit professor to give it a try. :)

Edited to add: Hey, neat! ...the book just got nominated for an Eisner Award, too. GUESS WHO'S TREATIN' HIMSELF TO SOME TWO-SCOOP ICE CREAM?
I LOVE this book! My friends got it for me this past ComiCon for hosting them at my home...as an English major, I say "yey!"
Now, Dave, here's my idea for another compilation: how's about a "coffee table book" with all the coffee-related strips together?
That would ROCK as a gift for all of my sludge-slugging addict friends! :-D (I'm caffeine-free!)
So, Dave- shall I assume you're fully aware that you posted the review copy of 'Literature' where *anybody* can get to it? Like, even me, who cannot legitimately vote for the Eisner? I have it now, and will read it, probably with my kid who just found and devoured my copy of "Pure Ducky Goodness" - if that's cool with you? If not, say the word, and I'll shift+delete it. Really, I will, if you want.
Otherwise, sweet! Thanks, Dave! I just want to confirm we're cool on the free copy.
Dave, that is very cool receiving the niceness from your English prof. And tracked you down, no less- this is high praise, indeed. Just out of curiosity- which prof did you hear from (or which class, to protect her good name)? There's a decent chance you and I were in that class together.
