Summary: Buy For Teens
Review: This book is being promoted as a book for teens and the subject matter is really appropriate. The book is funny, clever, and even extremely amusing - not morose. I kept it.

Review: This book is being promoted as a book for teens and the subject matter is really inapropriate. The book is not funny, not clever, not even slightly amusing - just morose. I returned it.

Summary: Same as the previous edition, but w/ a slip cover
Review: This is a great collection of drawings and illustrations from Tim Burton which I would definately reccommend. HOWEVER, keep in mind that the HOLIDAY EDITION is simply the ORIGINAL EDITION, with the addition of a new holiday themed slip cover. Remove the slip cover and you've got the same book. Just don't want anyone ordering thinking that it's a new edition with all-new or additional poems and art. Now that that's out of the way, buy this book! (Either edition, and any time of the year!)
