From the Publisher
I can still remember when the very first Garfield book came out in 1980. I was only eight years old. My cousin, who is a consummate cat lover, convinced me that I absolutely had to read it. We sprawled out on the floor, giggling over Garfield's brazen remarks. If only we had as much power over our parents as Garfield had over Jon! Garfied became our hero, the champion of our right to watch tv all day and eat all the junk food we wanted.
Now, 18 years and 33 books later, I help to publish the very books that delighted me as a child (My cousin will never overcome her jealousy!) The books are just as hilarious today as they were back then.
The antics of Garfield are timeless and his enduring popularity attests to that. My experience working on Garfield books has been both fun and challenging. As one might expect, the folks at Jim Davis' company are a great gang to work with--full of fun and creativity. Just like the life of Garfield--there's never a dull moment! I hope you enjoy this latest collection from Garfield. Stay tuned for the next one!
