As noted above, there has only been one significant reprint of Sugar & Spike. I would add to that- NO reprints of The Three Mouseketeers, Scribbly or Rudolph! Also, the Sugar & Spike volume, delightful as it was, was a poor marketing strategy. Take a title aimed at little kids and put it in a $60 hardcover? Good going, execs! <br />If any of these books had decent TPB reprints at a reasonable price and were marketed to the preschool to grade 3 parents' market, they'd do very well, I think!diana greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140450794638464716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-53288545230922547272013-10-01T11:33:24.668-04:002013-10-01T11:33:24.668-04:00I agree that Mayer should be celebrated more.
