praise for ‘The Totally Geeky Guide to The Princess Bride’ from John Scalzi and Jim Mann

Blogger and science fiction author John Scalzi -- brand-new Campbell Award winner for Best New Writer at this year’s Hugo Awards -- has some nice things to say about my new book The Totally Geeky Guide to The Princess Bride. (John is a pal of mine from SF conventions, and I gave him a copy of the book at Worldcon.) He says, in part:

It's a funny and fast overview about the things people love about Princess Bride; it nods towards deeper themes in the film and mostly appraoches the film affectionately and fondly, looking at what it is that makes that film more than just a pleasant way to spend 90 minutes or so. Personally speaking, I'm not as geeky about The Princess Bride as Johanson is, but her enthusiasm for the film is catching, and a kick to read.
