H-B Book wins Award!

May 31, 2008 8:00 am

As I mentioned back in March, ForeWord Magazine, the only literary trade journal devoted exclusively to covering independent publishers, had nominated my book, The Hanna Barbera Treasury, for Book of the Year.

The winners were announced yesterday at the Book Expo in Los Angeles, and apparently the Hanna Barbera book was the first place (Gold) winner in the Popular Culture category. Congratulations to me! I’ll be heading down to the Book Expo today to find out what exactly winning this award means (and I’ll be autographing copies of the book there at 4pm).

	Congrats Jerry! This book is excellent and well-deserving of the award. I purchased the Easton Press leather-bound edition - every time I read it I must have classical music playing in the background. :-)

	Great news! Winning first place lets everyone know it’s “better than the average book!”. I hope the prize is something more than a hearty hand clasp. Maybe a full tank of gas?
