Read Responsibly
by Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum
At last! It's our turn to borrow the fifth and most recent Unshelved collection from the library. Reading through the volume, I have to admit that the strip really has improved over the years. I think the best part of this book was the Sunday Book Club reviews, but the whole thing is amusing. I definitely want some Unshelved for my shelf.

Unshelved
by Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum
Unshelved is the first Unshelved collection. (duh!) I would like to put Unshelved on my shelf because it's the first of the series and I already said I wanted to put the next three volumes on my shelf. Unshelved begins with a request from Mr. Barnes and Mr. Ambaum to "be gentle". Apparently they think that the initial strips weren't all that good. In my opinion, it's really not that bad. The early strips weren't as good as their later efforts, but I'd still put a copy on my shelf on its own merits. sigh. I can't wait until Christmas....

Library Mascot Cage Match
by Bill Barnes & Gene Ambaum
Okay! I finished all of the Unshelved collections we have in the house. This one is number three in the adventures of Dewey and the other librarians at the Mallville Public Library. It offers the same kind of gags and stories that you'd read in the other collections. This one does feature a "graphic novelette", Empire County Strikes Back. But as a special feature goes, I wasn't too impressed. There were some chuckles, but the ending was a tad too preachy. Still, I'd love to have a copy of it on my shelf.

What Would Dewey Do?
by Bill Barnes & Gene Ambaum
The family has complicated my free time, borrowing all sorts of books from the library that I want to read as well. My wife brought home the latest volume of The Complete Peanuts, while my daughter reserved all five collections of Unshelved. This is the second collection, covering such important issues as a haiku-only poetry slam, a dilemma over the confidentiality of patron library records and the uses of surplus bean bag chairs. No home should be without such literature! I'll have to get a copy for my own shelf.

Book Club
by Bill Barnes & Gene Ambaum
This is the fourth collection of strips from Unshelved, the online comic about the Mallville Public Library. What can I say? As a geeky, fan-boyish bookworm it targets my demographic exactly. And it's funny. So, I want a copy on my shelf so I can read it again and again and again.
