well a thread about books! time for mes to ask my question

i saw a book shoved into the tpb section of my borders book store (they tend to put books about comic books with the comic books, makes sense i suppose) and there was one called "the man from krypton" an unoffical collection of essays on superman... im umming and ahhing about if i should buy it or not ( i really want to read the essay that says that batman stopped teaming up with superman because it made him feel insecure)  so has anyone else bought/ read it?

I haven't read it but if you do a search for Krypton in that search engine, you can get to read a few pages!

I have a copy, I thought it was pretty good.  Very well researched and true to the character.  All the scholars refer to the pre-crisis continuity and powers, etc; which I found pleasantly refreshing.
