Great deal on Stan Lee's Amazing Marvel Universe (incl 45 minutes of Lee commentary)!
I was in my local Barnes & Noble last night and they had a small stack of these at the front near there bidget books. This is a $50 book and they had them for $14.98! (even better deal if you have a B&N card)
Being a Stan Lee fan, I always wanted this book and I have always loved to hear him talk and listen to the enthusiasm in his voice about comics and his many creations/co-creations. The book is approx 200 pages long and feature 45 minutes of his comments as you read along in the book (kinda like a director's commentary on a dvd).
I love the idea and think it is well done. The book is very colorful and has lots of history and trivia about the marvel universe.
I know many of you may have been interested in this book but didn't want to shell out 50 bucks like me. $15 is more than reasonable and well worth Checking out your B&N for it in my opinion. They also have it online as well!
