Why
I wrote this book.
I think about chocolate every day. Apparently
quite a few other people feel the same way. These
were so much fun to think up and
draw. Not the real thing, but close.I edited
and produced a calendar for Barnes and Noble
entitled: "What do Women REALLY Want?
Cats, Chocolate, Shoes and Love!" Yes,
it's a long title, but isn't it lovely and true?
The
publisher at NBM loved the title, too. But he
wanted to do an entire book on each subject, and
he picked Chocolate as the first book. Good
choice!
Description.
The chocolate-brown cover is smooth, almost
silky. The publisher decided it had to be a
hardback, to be a real collector's item. Readers
often tell me it looks like a chocolate bar. And
in contrast, the pages are super-white.
There
are over 120 fullpage cartoons about ice cream,
cake, brownies, cookies and of course chocolate.
Some unusual quotations are also sprinkled about.
And the foreword is by the famous author of 9
cookbooks, Rose Levy Beranbaum. She had never
written a foreword before, but thought chocolate
and cartoons made this book special!
It
was printed in a limited quantity. Copies are
still available here, and sometimes on Amazon.
And
it has inspired me to start a new blog: Chocolate
cartoons!
