Reviews of Modern Magazine Parodies:

"I've enjoyed reading through your book, remembering the events that we experienced and how they were so cleverly parodied.  What an amazing job you've done - reviewing these artifacts - it brings back so many memories for me of the actual magazines and the wonderful and funny parodies.  I recall that when I was in high school, Seventeen was a favorite (almost all ads), and when babysitting, I read True Confessions and movie magazines (which my mother never brought into the house, and thoroughly disapproved of).  We did always have a subscription to Saturday Evening Post." [Susan Armitage]

"I read all of it, cover to cover, last night.  The best part was about the ceiling tile that fell and hit Mary Franco on the head.  Thanks.  What will you wear to the Pulitzer ceremony?" [Ron Davis]

"Thanks so much for sending me 'Modern Magazine Parodies 1925-2008'!  There's a lot of stuff I had never seen before!" [Grant Geissman]

"As an information source, it's packed with lots of material that will be of value especially to researchers of this very narrowly defined topic.  I could have used those same words to describe my site [madcoversite].  I think the subject matter will appeal to some.  It's very academic (I mean that in the positive scholarly context).  It seems like some of the MAD was kind of inserted here and there without a lot of context." [Doug Gilford]

"Our fellow FOOH Jerry Moore has published a comprehensive and engrossing history of magazine parodies.  Some of the examples I was familiar with, but I was not familiar with many others.  Thank you for the copy, Jerry - I can only imagine the work that went into producing it!" [Tom Heintjes]

"We are honored to be included in such an important work on the world of magazine parodies." [Steve Herring]

"Jerry, received the book, thanks!  I've been browsing through it - it's quite an ambitious volume.  I don't know what stage you are at its development.  Many things I had never seen - I got all the way to page 184 before hitting a (non-MAD produced) parody I actually owned!  I do find myself wanting to see many more illustrations rather than a list of contents, though.  Overall I'm very impressed!" [Charlie Kadau]

"Thanks for sending Modern Magazine Parodies so quickly and for plugging my too-seldom-updated blog in the intro.  As you probably already know, I'm also working on a book about magazine (and newspaper) parodies, so I was relieved to see we're approaching them from different angles.  You've focused on individual parodies and their contents; I'm more focused on the links between them and the way their evolution reflects changes in the publishing biz and public taste.  The difference shows in my (rather boring) working title: 'The Parody Issues: 225 Years of Newspaper and Magazine Parodies.'" [V. Cullum Rogers]

"Jerry, the book came 3 days ago, but it is only tonight that I got my first scan.  Thank you for the wonderful note.  I am actually enjoying the famous pensive Modern Spleen instead of Modern Screen.  And the impeccable citations.  I want to look through it more closely.  I especially like the old style covers.  This is a real achievement, Jerry.  I am very proud of you." [Claire Sharpe]

"Well Jerry, what a knock out.  Your book is intelligently funny and just damn interesting to read.  It is like taking a walk down memory lane.  Great work, I know it will be a best seller." [Alicia Wise]
