SIDELIGHTS:

Stuart Schneider told CA: "My motivation for writing is to capture information for collectors and historians about subjects that have not been adequately covered, if at all, before now. I look for subjects that interest me and that seem to be missing a graphical, information-packed book that is fun to read, interesting, and visually attractive. I write the kind of book that I would like to read about a new subject."
