Negative Space: books
- All Mimsy book reviews
- I have now added all of the old book reviews from the earlier Mimsy to the new Mimsy. These are all of the books I’ve reviewed, in alphabetical order.
- Comic Book Recommended Reading
- A list and description of the best comic books in the world. Or at least in the United States.
- Horror Houses
- What to do when your house hates you? These movies will help you relate.
- The Mimsy Top Twenty
- Of all the books I’ve reviewed, these are the ones I most recommend taking a look at. They’re lighthearted, serious, deep, scathing, and adventurous, not necessarily in the expected ways.
- Neon Alley Recommended Reading
- The best books about the Internet.
- Notes on Prohibition
- These are notes that I took while researching a “recreational drugs” comic book. These books also informed all of the writing that I have done for Strange Bedfellows and the Prohibition archive.

- The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition (hardcover)
-
This fantastic book contains the text to both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. But it also contains a side-bar on many pages filled with notes about what phrases meant at the time Dodgson wrote them, and sometimes what Tenniel’s drawings depict. Would you recognize an eel-trap if you saw one today?
Gardner also reproduces the originals of poems that Dodgson satired, such as the much more boring originals of “Speak roughly to your little boy” and “You are old, father William”. (Martin Gardner)
