A little about the Eggbert books . . .

All the Eggbert books, new and original, say “Cartoons by LAF” on the covers. LAF is actually Lester E. Friedman, a San Francisco businessman whose idle doodling led to the delightful Eggbert cartoons which first saw the light of day on cocktail napkins published by Monogram of California, owned by Percy Barker.

The original books can still be found on both eBay and Amazon. But you need to be careful if you are interested in buying the originals. Most of the new books I’m offering through Amazon also have available used copies. If you look closely at the descriptions of these used books, you will find that they are actually the originals – be sure to note the publishing dates and especially how they are described.

I have contacted some of these booksellers to let them know that there IS a difference but there’s so many, I finally gave up doing that. ALL of the new books will have a border on the front and back covers ... mainly so they will be easily distinguishable from the original books. ALSO … at the bottom of the new book front covers it says … “EGGBERT’S DIARY For Expectant Moms”.

Confused? I hope not!
