It's not every day we hear of a new book diving into the world of Hanna-Barbera, but luckily enough for us, this is one of those days.
Above is the cover art for Hanna and Barbera: Conversations, coming to us in May 2024 courtesy of the University Press of Missouri. This publisher has done many similar books about other artists throughout the entertainment industry, and Bill and Joe are the latest to get the spotlight. The book chronicles various stories about the duo and their career, told by both themselves and those who worked with them. You can take a look at the table of contents, which alone shows an impressive list of individuals: Iwao Takamoto, Ed Benedict, Fred Seibert, Scott Shaw, Yowp, and Don Messick are just a few of the fellows you'll get to hear from in this title. The book chronicles their careers, from their beginnings at MGM to the studio's pivot towards original programming for the Cartoon Network.
Preorders are currently available, both of the hardcover and paperback variety. I've already gotten my preorder set, and I urge any of you interested to do the same! More information on the title can be found on its page at the University Press of Missouri website. Pretty exciting stuff I must say!
