Bugs Bunny is more than a cartoon character. He is an international hero - a perennial number one in the hearts (and ratings) of generations of fans. For over fifty years, the world's favourite rabbit has delighted audiences in cinemas, on television, on video cassettes. Now, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of his first cartoon (A Wild Hare, 1940) comes Bugs in ultimate book form. In text, dialogue, and over 400 illustrations, you will discover the secrets of his cool sophistication, his manic charm, his brash cockiness—and his ability to find a solution no matter what the odds. Here is the official history of the "wascally wabbit's” life: from the pre-Bugs bunnies who appeared in Warners' cartoon in the late 1930s through the classic Bugs of the 1940s and the ultimate refinements of his character in the 1950s and 1960s. A rabbit for all seasons and all guises, he has appeared as a debonair rake, a calm, suave peacemaker, a feisty, anarchistic manipulator—complete master of his universe. The stories of each of the living legends who directed him—including Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, and Robert McKimson-are here, including quotes about their "relationships” with Bugs, with special prefaces bearing tribute from Messrs. Freleng and Jones. And the stories of the lesser-known people the storymen, animators, inkers, in-betweeners—who made up the composite personality known as Bugs Bunny are told as well.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
