The Great Ak from Rankin/Bass' The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is one of the surviving Animagic figures that we talk about in our 20th Anniversary edition of The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass book (MISER BROS PRESS). In our new book, Rankin/Bass' Frosty the Snowman 50th Anniversary Scrapbook, we discuss another group of surviving Animagic figures!

Merry Christmas in December!

Merry Christmas!

I love this Christmasy time of year!

AMC Rankin/Bass TV Marathon starting at 6 am December 1st through December 2nd!

Here is the listing from REMIND MAGAZINE with one of our photographs from the new book!   I discussed the marathon with a friend from AMC at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Con, so I have known about it for a while.   I have been getting many messages and emails about this lineup, so I know many will be happy to see them again broadcast!  Many appeared on ABC FAMILY, but disappeared over the years.

RANKIN/BASS hardcover book package!

For those RANKIN/BASS fans that do not have either one of my books...I am offering both in a PACKAGE deal here for the first time for $99.99 + $7 shipping (PRIORITY MAIL). I will sign and draw in both books and send them off right away in plenty of time for the HOLIDAYS of 2008. BOTH books are in short supply...so hurry. I doubt either book will be in stock through the entire holiday season. AMAZON will be running out of the RUDOLPH book soon and will not be getting any more in and I do not offer THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO through any other venue. You can PAYPAL the total to Rickgoldsc@aol.com or if you prefer mailing the payment, e-mail me at Rickgoldsc@aol.com for instructions. HAVE A HOLLY, JOLLY CHRISTMAS!
