No worse than "if you liked books by this author, why not buy books by
Rowling" and considering that Andrews McMeel is primarily known (to me)
for publishing rather nice comic strip collections (most notably _Calvin
and Hobbes_), it gives you about the same level of information. One
could a lot worse than picking up a copy of the _Essential C & H_.
