Lisa, the Simpson!

Few days ago, I've finished scanning/processing one book I have here - Bart Simpson's Guide To Life.
I know we all would prefer Lisa book, but... I don't have it yet. :red:

But even that book can be interesting for you, because it's about all family, and very funny in places. I considered it a book for children at first, but then changed my mind - there is a lot of complex context, a lot of good hidden jokes from the Simpsons team, and a chance to look at the world from Bart's point of view. There is a lot about Lisa there, too. :)

Links:

The whole book scanned (CBZ) - http://store.simps.ru/books/guidetolife.cbz (40 Megs)
Separate pages (JPG) - http://store.simps.ru/books/guidetolife/

CBZ format is best viewed by the CDisplay (http://www.geocities.com/davidayton/CDisplay) program. But actually it's just a regular ZIP archive.

Have fun!

Ooh, this looks interesting! Thanks :)

I bought that one a couple of years ago, and it's very a very funny book indeed, not only aimed to kids, but also to dedicated fans. As Serge hinted, you can find some nice Lisa-related stuff as well. :)

Thank you for this book Dagdamor!
How many time had you spend to scan all these pages? ;)

Scanning a lot of paper requires a lot of nerves, for sure…
Thanks, Serge, for such an interesting stuff!

As for the book: i won't deny, that my favorite part is here...  :D

LOL, aww! Yes, makes you think and wonder indeed ;)
Glad to know someone has found this useful. I'm planning to order the Lisa Book soon; of course if I get it, I'll try and scan it as well. But, if anyone knows if it's already scanned and can be downloaded - please post about it here, I wouldn't like to do something that was already done...

I have suggestion for you. I know how long it takes to scan one page of a book, especial when the book is heavy or big. I think the best way to do this is to buy a tripod and a digital camera, and then take picture of every page.
Also, do you mean this one: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Lisa-Book/Matt-Groening/e/9780060748234/

Thank you for the book. I just downloaded.

I read "The Simpsons and Philosophy" now, but in German. It's an interesting book, easy to understand and with an even balance between philosophy and simpsons. It's sketchy for example in a direct comparison with "autonomy" or "free will" from Geert Keil, that's written in German too, but both books inspire me to read more about philosophy. It has my recommendation.  :)

So, here http://rapidshare.com/files/172810939/TheLisaBook.cbz.html (http://rapidshare.com/files/172810939/TheLisaBook.cbz.html)
I have to go now (to the Christmas market), have fun!  :lisa:

edit: I think it's intelligent and humorously written, just like the simpsons themself, but another mind another impression, so read it on yourself.

You mean you already bought that book, scanned it and even uploaded for us? o_O
Wow, thank you so much!! I'm downloading it as soon as possible, you did it as fast as a flash :)
It would take several days, about a week, for me to download the file. I hope the link won't die...
Anyway, I'm sure the book has Lisa spirit in it. Even Bart's Guide was rather clever thing in places, Lisa Book cannot be worse than that, or I'll be disappointed in the show. ;)

Hmmm, I could split it up in some smaler parts...

Have fun!  :p

Thanks for this book!

You must be very patient to scan 52 pages (and the image's quality is very good) ;)
Thanks you again :)

I did it gladly. Because for me the best thank is the being of LTS and all of you and your art.
And actually, enjoyment is a better enjoyment, or enjoyment at all, if you can share it with other.
Thus, I should thank you - in a relative way...
...but enough of that - I'm happy that you like it, so my work is done.  :)

Yeah, scans are nice.... but owning the real thing is better. BUY THE BOOK! Import it if you have to. :P

(I guess I could use these scans for some grabpics, it'd save me from having to scan my own copy of the book :P)

Gazmanafc
Seconded! Such books are also a great source for interesting grabs/scenes. Not everyone will be able to tell where the scene came from, if it's not a regular episode.
And of course, just in case I'm telling that I'm gonna buy this book anyway as soon as I have the possibility, being able to leaf through a real book still cannot be replaced with scans. :)

Lisa M. Simpson
Huge thanks again, for splitting/reuploading the file!

I fully agree with that, it even looks nice and to hold it in one's hands is better than looking at those scans - I derogate my one work - but that's the truth...  :D

Lisa M. Simpson
Thanks a lot for the scan - downloading the book right now:-)

Also, I wanted to ask - do anyone here own "The Simpsons Handbook: Secret Tips from the Pros"? Really need to know, have they any instructions about drawing Wiggum family there? Please, share the table of contents with me, if you can.

Lisa M. Simpson
Finished reading the book. What can I say - it's awesome :) Recommended for everyone here (don't need to say "for Lisa fans", heh).
Thank you again for scanning it. Visual quality is nearly perfect, I know it's not easy to scan a book with many pages.

brakusaetsya
Unfortunately, I don't know... most probably they have Ralph tutorials, but no idea about his parents.
I hope someone else who owns the book, will post about it.

Yeah, especially if those pages are glittering and sleek and if the scanner "is on the blink" and screw the scans up...  I'm glad you like it! :)
