Thank you for that, Josh. So, the Inventors and Creators book would seem to be out. Who's volunteering to go out and buy a copy? |

I'll see if I can find it at my local bookstores. It doesn't look terribly interesting(I'm not much for children's biographies), but the cover has a nice photo of Handler.

I haven't seen it at any bookstores, and if it's been out since february...
I don't think any of mine have it.

It looks like the kind of book that is marketed directly to schools and libraries. So you probably won't find it in the book stores. I'm tempted to buy it for my school and my Lemony-obsessed students. EDIT: I've done a little research, and I was right about the school/library connection. Here is a link to the publisher's page. The good news is, schools get a 20% discount, so I'll convince my principal to buy it and I can scan any goodies for all of you. |

You could convince your principal to buy it? Wow.

I asked him yesterday and he said yes. I'll keep you posted when I get it.

You could convince your principal to buy it? Wow. Yes. That is impressive. I would love to see the goodies all scanned up. ;D |

It wasn't that difficult. I'm a teacher/school librarian who coordinates book purchases and runs Unfortunate Day for my Lemony-crazed students.
And I just found out that my husband can get a 50% discount from the publisher since they are a partner company where he works. So I may just order one for myself too.

Wow!
I don't even have to ask you to scan stuff if there's anything important...

I would love to have a teacher like you. And if there's anything good in the book, I may have to scrape up enough money to buy it. |

I wouldn't buy it, I'd just cheat and look at the nice scans.

Update: The book was ordered earlier this week (Wednesday?). It should be coming next week some time. Once it comes I'll decide whether it's going to be easier to scan everything, or type up the text and just scan the pictures.
I wonder if they'll have pictures of Handler when he was a kid? I'd like to see what he looked like then.

That would be interesting but I doubt he'd gratify us with that...

It'd be quite enjoyable to see Handler as a kid, unfortunately I just don't see Handler giving us that kind of satisfaction...
