Rick Goldschmidt has done an UTTERLY SUPERB job in creating his incandescently splendid book, "The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass!" Not only is it a unique goldmine of information about the studio and its magnificent writers and artists and musicians, it is also the single most gloriously illustrated book I have EVER seen! I've had the book for two years, and every time I look at it, I'm STILL bowled over by the incomparable beauty of the photographs depicting the various films made by Rankin/Bass. The gorgeous quality of the photographic reproductions is UNMATCHED by any other book I've EVER seen! (How'd you do it, Rick?!?) In sum, this book is bright, brilliant, effulgent, lambent, luminous, lustrous, refulgent, shiny, bewitching, charming, enthrallong, entrancing, spellbinding, fascinating, lovely, delightful, coruscating, gleaming, glimmering, glinting, glistening, glittering, scintillating, shimmering, twinkling, winkling, peppy, pert, spirited, sparkling, resplendent, sumptuous, ebullient, exuberant, joyous, and marvelous! BRAVO!!!
This book is AMAZING and I was so happy to hear it was in PRINT again! Copies were selling for Hundreds of dollars at EBAY...even for the soft-cover! The Hardcover was selling for twice as much! Love this book! ...Pictures and info galore on RANKIN/BASS and Tons on RUDOLPH and MAD MONSTER PARTY! My two favorites! Don'tmiss this one!
How can anyone not buy this book,I will buy it today,but even without it Rankin Bass has given us all great memories of such classics as Rudolph and Frosty and there characters still live on today through many promotions such as the new beanies that are out.Rick Goldschmidt should be commended greatly for letting everyone enjoy once more the magic that is Rankin/Bass.The only shame is the company that now owns the various products Rudolph,Frosty and others did not leave the Rankin Bass ending logos at the end of the video when they reproduced them on video and dvd.5 stars go out To Rick and Tiger Mountain Press for keeping an old standby Ranking Bass in our memories and thoughts.ScottDenny
This is one of my favorite books, EVER! When I found out that this book existed, it was a happy day! Born in 1970, I grew up watching all of these shows and they became a huge part of my life. Even having read the book, I still get it out every Christmas to re-read about the shows as I watch them. There are more illustrations in here than I could possibly take the time to count! My four year old loves to look at it, too. This book can even help you identify some of the specials you only have a vague remembrance of - it's all here! If you, like me, find yourself singing the "Heat-miser/Snow-miser song" in the middle of the summer, than buy this book today!!
Rick Goldschmidt captured my memories from childhood and put them in a book! Even as an adult, I Still love watching Rudolph and Frosty! This book gives a synopsis of all the Rankin/Bass shows and fills in many of the blanks. Thanks Rick, for a wonderful book. I truly enjoyed reading it.
