It's a bird ... a plane ... It's Jonathan, now complete!



Jonathan Livingston Seagull: The Complete Edition ~ by Richard Bach, photos by Russell Munson, 1970 and 2014, fiction, 164 pages, 10/10

I first read this book back in the 1970s and several times since then.  Yesterday, I went through the library to straighten books on shelves before going to eat in the Cafe.  I noticed the blue book on the shelf and thought, "I haven't read this in several years," and checked it out to myself.  In the Cafe, waiting for my food, I realized this is NOT the book I've read over and over.  It's new and has a whole fourth section.

"[T]he new complete edition of this philosophical classic, perfect for readers of all ages — now with a fourth part of Jonathan’s journey, as well as last words from author Richard Bach.

"This is the story for people who follow their hearts and make their own rules … people who get special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves … people who know there’s more to this living than meets the eye:  they’ll be right there with Jonathan, flying higher and faster than they ever dreamed.

"A pioneering work that wed graphics with words, Jonathan Livingston Seagull now enjoys a whole new life."
