	Interview with Norton Juster about The Phantom Tollbooth and Writing Children's Books
		The Phantom Tollbooth, as we haves have always known, is the quintessential book for children of all ages, and the language lover's delight for the child in every adult.
		RES: I remember Milo, The Phantom Tollbooth's protagonist, beginning to understand, as he traveled onward from one adventure to another, the connectedness between things he had learned in school.
		I did this, and in all truthfulness, a number of things that were in The Phantom Tollbooth were generating some things that I'd been thinking about because of my work on the grant book.

		That's funny because one of the scariest characters in "The Phantom Tollbooth" is the Terrible Trivium, a very elegant gentleman with no face at all.
		One of the things that seems to really strike a chord with people in "The Phantom Tollbooth" is Milo's state of mind at the book's beginning: "When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in.
		I was convinced that the book was distributed in the dead of night, in unmarked trucks, in unidentified boxes that were immediately put in the basements of bookstores where they would never been seen again.

		Based on the children's book by the same name--with which I am ashamed to say I am unfamiliar--The Phanton Tollbooth tells the story of Milo and the tollbooth he receives when he is too bored with nothing better to do.
		In the end, the story and ideas wear slightly thin (the film might have worked better with a shorter run time), but when the movie works, I was rolling on the floor laughing.
		While not as zany (or necessarily as clever) as some of Jones and Blanc's Warner Brother cartoons, and perhaps a bit didactic at times, The Phantom Tollbooth nonetheless delivers wordplay and visual puns worthy of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and (surprisingly enough) you do end up learning something.

		In an introductory "Appreciation" written by Maurice Sendak for the 35th anniversary edition, he states, "The Phantom Tollbooth leaps, soars, and abounds in right notes all over the place, as any proper masterpiece must." Indeed.
		Since I am a fan of realistic fiction, this book was not for me! I felt that The Phantom Tollbooth was boring because it was just a story of an unrealistic journey through an imaginary land.
		I love the "Phantom Tollbooth" as it is one of those books I was read as a child.

		Combining abrupt tempo and harmonic changes with dense sonic knots and oddball musicianship mistaken for "chops", the very-powerful-trio created a classic punk/classic rock hybrid of unwarranted and perhaps unwanted wantoness.
		PT went on to record two full albums and two almost full EPs and like most good and neglected bands from Indie Rock's pre-historic age, they played as if on fire, burned a bunch of money, and flamed out.
		So he created new vocal melody lines and lyrics onto one of his all time favorite albums and Off Records is pleased to be feeding it to you.

		The Phantom Tollbooth serves as a gateway to a place that embodies the physical manifestations of metaphors.
		The interplay between concepts, the tension between words and numbers, the divisions and alliances that are made, the enemies who seem to be friends, all of these serve to make a delightful play which will interest children and adults.
		Milo, of course, makes it home safely after a fascinating journey, and while he would like to take another trip, the phantom tollbooth is needed elsewhere for other children, too.

		While Jonathan Rundman is a wonderful artist, he is a relatively unknown independent artist, yet he receives nearly three full pages of attention, and the even lesser known John Ylvisaker gets nearly a full page, while many more popular and historically significant bands get short-shrift.
		Heck, you know a book is good when it lists The Phantom Tollbooth as one of the two best Internet resources for Christian music information (the other being the all but defunct True Tunes site, which at one time was a great resource).
		Informative, comprehensive, and entertaining, you'll spend hours looking up entries for all of your favorite artists, and more often than not you'll find yourself saying, "It's in there!" I anxiously awaited the updated and corrected second volume, which I hope is already in the works.
