When I got my current job, I had the choice of a grant funded job, or this one. I took this one because the funding is secure until the department is closed down. With a grant funded job, youâll probably have more interesting work. Itâll look good on your resume and teach you a lot.
My first book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School was not distributed well when it first appeared in 1978. The book was difficult for parents and teachers to find. It never sold very many copies, but I got lots of fan letters that greatly encouraged me.
You should also be on the lookout for first printings of a A Fly Went By and Book of Riddles. The first twelve Beginner Books were published between 1957-to-1959 and should be on your 'watch for' list. First editions are easily identifiable, as all but Cat In The Hat state 'First Printing' on the copyright page. We've documented first edition identification points for Cat In The Hat on our blog.
