Hi, My name is Mark Edlitz and I'm a writer. I've written about pop culture for a number of publications including The Huffington Post and Los Angeles Times Hero Complex. I've also worked as a writer/producer for National Geographic's *Brain Games.* *How to Be a Superhero*, my book about superheroes and the actors who play them, just launched. David Mamet wrote the foreword. I was wondering if you would consider ordering the book for your library. My aunt (who works at a library) told me that many libraries are doing a summer reading program based on "heroes." She thought my book would be relevant to all your patrons and that it fits all the inter-related themes -- Every Hero Has a Story, Unmask! and Escape the Ordinary. Even if you're not doing this particular program I think the book might be of interest. The pre-pub press for *How to Be a Superhero* has been excellent: "This superpowered collection of more than 40 original in-depth interviews explores the role of superheroes in pop culture.... In his impressive debut, Edlitz interviews actors who have played parts in shaping modern America's quintessential mythologies: the superhero universe.... [The author's] lengthy introductions to each interview are packed with enough background info and trivia to please even hard-core fanboys.... Edlitz's insightful questions also explore weightier topics such as religion, mythology, race, and the nature of heroism.... [An] all-out victory." -- Kirkus "Edlitz probes to the heart of the matter with these performers, getting their take on the philosophy of their particular superhero...With a full slate of interviews, Edlitz charts the influence of the culture of the times on the portrayals of superheroes, as well as the evolution of women’s roles." -- Foreword Reviews "How to be a Superhero makes for great reading, Edlitz's questioning smart and insightful. His subjects play along well, giving considered and equally insightful answers. A cracking read full of great personalities and personality." -- Starburst Magazine "As complete a source as one might hope to find." -- ComicMix How to Be a Superhero is available through Ingram and Amazon <http://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Superhero-Mark-Edlitz-ebook/dp/B00U2ZFE6I/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1434681164&sr=1-2&keywords=how+to+be+a+superhero> .
