This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

Part I: Mid-1930s to Winter 1994

Semi-biographical historical fiction: based on the author's discussions with his father about the senior Spiegelman's experiences under the Nazis.

The first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize (Special Award in Letters, 1992). If someone won't read graphic novels because they're just comics/just for kids, give them Maus to read.

Here's another copy on my BookCrossing shelf.

Headed for Pennsylvania as a RABCK - enjoy!

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let this book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

Received today along with volume two. I can't believe how quickly these got here! Thank you so much, hyphen8!

I'm slowly reevaluating the books on my shelf and deciding whether or not I truly want to read them. I've decided that the subject matter of this one is a bit much for me, so I'm making it (and Maus II) available. I will release unread.

I hope the finder enjoys the book!
