Okay, what is the deal with these silly complaints that this book doesn’t reveal any “secrets.” What secrets? If anyone believes he or she will be able to instantly draw cartoons well after simply reading this or any other book, they need to get in touch with reality. The bottom line is: the secret of doing ANYTHING well — and that includes cartooning — is to PRACTICE. A LOT. That said, this is a great little book. It’s written with a generous dose of humor, and it tells you exactly how to draw the Simpsons in certain poses. In other words, it’s a good basic cartooning book if you are interested in drawing these specific characters and are willing to do the practice necessary to learn to draw them well. Once you’re familiar with the construction of those little yellow bodies, then you can start making them do what you want them to do. (PRACTICE, remember?) If you have talent and imagination, it may also help get you started on drawing your own characters. No magic, no secrets, just a good book on how to draw the Simpsons.

Said Good condition which was a fair description however there were marks on the cover that could easily have been wiped off before sending it out

This is a book that was published by Scholastic for the grade school market. It is less than 40 pages and pretty simplistic. It only shows you how to draw the 5 members of the immediate Simpson family.
That being said, I am very glad I came across a used copy of this booklet. I have the large hardbound ‘The Simpsons Notebook’, but it is too valuable and cumbersome to carry with me to work. I take the bus 45 minutes each way and use this time to sketch and draw. So this older, smaller version is a copy I can carry with me easily and still have a decent, not great reference guide if the urge to sketch Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart or Maggie suddenly strikes me on the bus.
