If you’re a fan of “The Simpsons” then Collecting The Simpsons is a must-have for your bookshelf. As the voice of Lisa Simpson, since the very beginning, I have a lot of insider information about the show, but it turns out I didn’t know that much - or anything, really - about the history of Simpsons merchandise. Enter Warren, James and Lydia. As avid collectors they have written a love letter to the world of Simpsons collectibles that have been released around the world since the show began. There’s so much stuff I never even saw or knew about! The photos are gorgeous, but it’s the stories about what’s in the photos that kept me up well past my bedtime. Welcome to the next item in your collection.
– Yeardley Smith, The Voice of Lisa Simpson
In this full-color book, drive into the mountain of Simpsons merchandise that the '90s (and beyond) blasted into toy aisles everywhere: comics, video games, toys books, clothing, cookie jars, toilet brushes, things you remember, the lost toys that you don't, and maybe even some things wo don't want to remember.
You will find that these bizarre products can actually help trace the show's developments as well as its cultural impact. The Simpsons knew no bounds when it came to the show, so let's see how far they went with their merchandise.
Who better to tell the story of Simpsons junk than a super-team of giant Simpsons nerds? I heartily endorse this unauthorized event or product.
– Matt Selman, Showrunner for The Simpsons
I love how this book tells of the glorious items to pour forth in the following years, documenting a golden age of cartoon culture.
– Wes Archer, Animation Director and Storyboard Artist for The Simpsons
There's no one better at breaking down the illustrious history of The Simpsons in all its forms. If you're a fan, this book is a delight and if you're not, it might make you one.
– Ian Boothby, Lead Writer for The Simpsons Comics
The ideal gift for the Simpsons-collecting weirdo in your life! No TV show has done more to overburden our nation's landfills with low-rent merchandise than The Simpsons! Here's your guide to digging up the treasure from those landfills!
– Bill Oakley, Writer and Producer for The Simpsons
Collecting (hoarding) Simpsons toys and animating (playing with) them has been my life’s goal. This book proves I’ve got a long way to go, and that’s a beautiful thing.
– John Harvatine IV, Co-Executive Producer of Robot Chicken (and Creator of Many Simpsons Couch Gags)
