Book: Black & White World II

Black & White World II is available from a number of sources. To order the book directly from us, simply click here -- you will be taken to a page where you can order this book and our latest book. Or you can order book II from Barnes & Noble.com and Amazon.com.

This volume contains over 450 cartoons (four times the number in our first book) and covers over two years of work -- starting in September 2002 and ending in November 2004 with the conclusion of the presidential election. Many of the cartoons have appeared on the pages of The Detriot News, Investor's Business Daily, and The Washington Times.

The book includes almost every new cartoon that has appeared on this Web site, plus there are also about 40 cartoons/illustrations previously unpublished or unposted. (Click here to see the back cover.)

Black & White World II also features:

-- TIA COVER ART: Illustrations for The Intellectual Activist magazine with commentary by Editor and Publisher Robert W. Tracinski;

-- LGF CARTOONS: From Fiskie Awards to "lizardoid" cartoons created for the Little Green Footballs weblog with commentary by Charles Johnson;

-- EXTRA CARTOONS: T-shirt designs, gag cartoons, spot illustrations, and more;

-- CAPTIONS on many cartoons with commentary and excerpts from news articles and editorials;

-- INTERVIEWS with Cox & Forkum, including a previously unpublished interview on the topic of Israel;

-- An EDITORIAL by Robert W. Tracinski, "Anti-Bushites for Bush";

-- An INTRODUCTION by Felix Grabowski, creative director of The Detroit News Web site and author of the Cartoons in the Classroom projects; and

-- An INDEX for finding your favorite cartoons by names, such as Uncle Sam, George W. Bush, John Kerry, Michael Moore, Dan Rather, Jacques Chirac, Yasser Arafat, Israel, Iran, Iraq, and of course the Donkey and the Elephant.

Sample cartoons from Black & White World II:

"Leftist Math" (Hitler and Bush)
"Nuclear Ends" (Iran and nukes)
"Reaper" (Saudi Arabia and al-Qaeda)
"Status Quash" (Bush and Taiwan)
"Motherly Hate" (Palestinian terrorism)
"Bowling for Fallujah" (Michael Moore)
"Food for Dictators" (United Nations)
"The Good, The Bad, The Media" (Media and Abu Ghraib)
"Urban Blights" (Protestors at the RNC covention)
"Down From The Mountain" (Dan Rather and bloggers)
"Scare Tactics" (The military draft)
"Global Test" (John Kerry)
"Decision 2004" (Presidential election)

Black & White World II is huge compared to our first book: 8.25" x 11" with 260 pages. And the price?

If you enjoy our cartoons, the book is a must-have. And need we say that the book makes a great gift, too?

We hope that you enjoy the book!

Note About the Cover Illustration... Recognize the Uncle Sam on the cover? John's art is based on this cartoon.

Contributors: Robert W. Tracinski, Charles Johnson and Felix Grabowski.

Just in time for gift-giving season. Just one thing, though:

Several readers have requested singed copies, but we are unable to offer them at this time, mainly because we can't easily handle all the shipping requirements.

I don't mind if the copies I order aren't singed, but can I get them nicely warmed?

Aaron...

Both titles will eventually be available together on Amazon.com. Unfortunately, because we waited to include the election cartoons, we were not able to get the book on Amazon.com as soon as we would have liked. Thanks very much for your purchase, to you and everyone buying books.

Congratulations to the new book! I look forward to read it when I am back from my adventure (school project) in Sopron, Hungary.

All the Best,

John & Allen -

Congratulations on your second book. Is there a way to get it shipped Priority Mail to an FPO address? I'll be in Fallujah until February or March.

I can't wait to get this. I bought the first one and after I finished just about everyone I know borrowed it from me. I have a feeling the same thing is going to happen when I buy the second one.

Regarding Amazon.com ... Thanks for the heads-up. It appears that they are listing the book as available [for shipping in about a week]. I'm told that [that time will eventually drop to] 1 to 2 days. I'll keep checking and keep everyone posted.

Regarding Barnes & Noble stores ... Since the large majority of our orders will originate online, we decided to offer a smaller wholesale discount than brick-and-mortar stores prefer. I'm certain the book will be available at B&N online, but the stores may choose not to order the book for customers who request it. Because we are a very small self-publisher, there was little chance that the book would be carried on the shelves. That's why were concentrating our efforts on Internet sales.

I ordered 4 copies, 3 as gifts and one for myself. Hopefully I'll get them in the 3 days B&N offers...Great cover for the book and thanks for the many laughs.
