Robert Ripley was an artist and a reporter, an explorer and a collector. The stories he gathered would later appear in his popular Believe It or Not!® cartoons. Today, the cartoons are still enjoyed by millions of readers around the world and appear in over 200 newspapers. Ripley's early cartoons, a collection of oddities found on his journeys, were first published in book form by Simon & Schuster, Inc., in 1929. "Believe It or Not"® sold over half a million copies and was on the best seller list for months. Today, if all the Believe It or Not® books ever published were stacked one upon the other, the total number of books sold would be over 100 times as tall as the Empire State Building! Believe It or Not! Unfortunately, the original series are no longer available. Simon & Schuster, Inc., will not reissue these books, and, therefore, they are very difficult to find. Some may be found at second-hand book stores.
