25 years today!

Today is the 25th Anniversary of my first book, The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass:  A Portfolio (Miser Bros Press), which is now a 412 page mostly color hardcover in the 20th Anniversary Edition (Co-Authored with Wes Garlatz).   The original First Edition was 176 pages and when the Hardcover sold out, it was selling for $600-700 via used book dealers.  I am very happy that we were able to make it a much better and bigger book for the Anniversary! On November 20th, 1997 I was on my way to the Newberry Library in Chicago, for a book signing, when my light up large car bag phone rang on Lake Shore Drive...it was Arthur Rankin, Jr..  He and Don Duga did a talk and a book signing in New York at the School of Visual arts and he was very happy with the way it went and the book, and wanted to tell me.  Great memories! 🎅🎄  www.miserbros.com #theenchantedworldofrankinbass #huge #book #rankinbass #christmas #gift #history #Sunday #television #animation #fun

Thank You for all of the wonderful Congratulatory phone calls and emails this week on the Anniversary of our first book! Orders are through the roof this weekend and I Thank You!!!!!

 

Order Early!

 

 

With supply chain issues, shipping costs on the rise and a deep recession, order early in 2022!  I can tell we are in a deep recession by how many low BEST OFFERS I have been receiving on my books at EBAY.  My printer is raising paper costs again November 7th, things are crazy!  All I ask is that you give me enough time before the holidays to get them to you.  Happy Holiday season!

R/B memories

Remembering my business partner, Co-Author and Friend Wes, two years later. Wes really put his heart and soul into all six of our books and all the rest of the Rankin/Bass Projects we developed. He is definitely missed and appreciated. #wesgarlatz #rankinbassproductions #coauthor #designer #artist

Wes

Remembering Wes a year after his passing. Wes really made our six books come to life and worked hard on all of our Rankin/Bass projects! He will be missed!

 

I have all six book in-stock right now, which is RARE! I am always selling out of a few!

 I have all 6 books in-stock right now at www.miserbros.com and you do get a bundle discount on 2-5.   I no longer get the personalization requests, but you can send those to me at Rickgoldsc@aol.com   It has been almost a year since Wes Garlatz passed away and we miss him greatly.

 

I have been setting all kinds of records with mail this year! I have never signed and sent this much ever🎅 A problem has developed, that I discussed with my mailman Larry today. All of the mail I send goes out Priority mail, some of it has been stuck in the system (In some cases for weeks) and tracking just says "Package arriving late." I am told it has been tracked to the distribution center in Forest Park, IL. The post master says he is aware of the problem and the packages will make it to their destinations. I hope they get it moving for Christmas delivery 🙏 a few have been mad at me for this 🧑‍🎄 #Rankinbassproductions #truckloads #PriorityMail

Our Frosty book is full color, loaded with all kinds of cool stuff from cool people! Only available in hard cover! www.miserbros.com #frostythesnowman #rankinbassproductions #book

I miss Wes this holiday season! Last year we were getting our Frosty book to the printers, as he went into the emergency room. He and Jonathan Johnson did a wonderful job on that book! In fact, I loved the one before it too on Santa Claus is Comin' to town (with a nice assist by mathew Matthew Clayton Mitchell Witten!) So glad we were able to get those done! I know Wes was proud of the books and he made my Christmas season happier! #wesgarlatz #Christmas #rankinbassproductions
