Members frankenstone Posted August 23, 2011 Members Share Posted August 23, 2011 So my wife is a book editor for a big publishing house and has been a big fan of Maru ever since his owner started posting vids on YouTube. One day, in a cheezburger-induced haze, she decides to see if Maru has any books out. Turns out he does -- in Japan. So my wife emails the publisher, gets in touch with Maru's owner, Mugumogu, and, long story short, my wife is Maru's editor in the US!! And his book comes out this week. The book is actually generating some buzz. Here's a story in USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/story/2011-08-22/Maru-the-cats-meow-of-YouTube-stars-in-a-new-book/50099132/1. The book is available on Amazon if anyone's interested. So this post is kinda sorta spam, but I am super proud of my wife for taking the initiative and going out and getting this. :phil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
