Title: Searching for the Simpsons Books Post by: Dagdamor on November 30, 2007, 12:08 After an ask from one member from my russian forum, I became curious about the subject. So far, I've seen only two official Simpsons books - "The Simpsons and Philosophy" and "Bart Simpson's Guide to Life". The latter one can be hardly considered a real book. :p The first one if very interesting though.
Do you know more? It would be great if you provided some links where I could download them (say, in PDF format). But even titles and short descriptions would be good too. Thanks. Title: Re: Searching for the Simpsons Books Post by: Andreas on November 30, 2007, 12:26 Well, there are the official episode guides, a book about Springfield, a Simpsons photo album, and several books about popular characters (there's also a "Lisa Book", which I'm rather tempted to buy). There's also a German book called "Subversion zur Prime-Time", which is probably in the same line as "The Simpsons and Philosophy", it's an in-depth research about the cultural phenomenon, definitely worth to read. I don't know if it's available in other languages, though. Try Amazon.com and select only "Books" for a search for "Simpsons". Browsing the first few pages, there are at least twenty books or so that look more or less interesting. Unfortunately, I don't know any PDF downloads, though.

Too bad... but thanks for the short info. I'm interested only in English books though. And one more thing - I more need real books, "text" books, not things like episode guides. I have that "Ultimate Simpsons" episode guide collection, but it's hardly can be called a long read. :) The Simpsons and Philosophy is the perfect example of what I'm searching for, if you read it. Title: Re: Searching for the Simpsons Books Post by: Dagdamor on November 30, 2007, 18:11 Maybe you know at least some links or sites where I could read about those books... :(
Title: Re: Searching for the Simpsons Books Post by: Suusje on November 30, 2007, 19:44 Andreas gave you a link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/002-6001054-9979258?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=simpsons&x=0&y=0
Most (every?) books have a description on amazon.com. You could read that. And if you didn't mean that, you could try searching google for "simpsons books". Title: Re: Searching for the Simpsons Books Post by: D.B. on November 30, 2007, 20:08 and the lisa book in particular:

D.B. Thanks for the links people. I meant some specialized pages, not online shops, the descriptions there are always something that's "made for merchandise". Maybe on some Simpsons websites there is some information... Title: Re: Searching for the Simpsons Books Post by: Maggiecute on December 01, 2007, 13:05 I have the Lisa book, read it from Cover to Cover and it's a really good book!
Title: Re: Searching for the Simpsons Books Post by: Empethree on December 03, 2007, 02:14 Always worth keeping an eye on ebay, have seen some gems on there in the past, and they probably would come around again. I got my immaculate Lisa in Wonderland comic on eBay.
Still trying to get hold of a plushie though, keep being outbid while I am at work heh heh. Title: Re: Searching for the Simpsons Books Post by: kent007 on January 15, 2008, 16:20 I don't know any link regarding book.But thanks for this short info.I will look for another Simpsons books also.
