SIGNED by LL Cool J, No Finer copy! Complete with never-played CD, "And the Winner Is" launched the HipKidHop series 7x7, paper-over-board books packaged with CD singles, presenting messages worth rappin' about. The lyrics of each song form the text, which appears against a backdrop of full-bleed cartoon art. On the CD, LL Cool J sings his songs in mild, melodic rap, backed up by the appealing voices of youngsters. After completing the songs, he urges listeners to sing the lyrics themselves, accompanied by the music and background sound effects.

Computer-aided artwork superimposes photos of the rapper's head on cartoon renditions of a player's body. As New Condition. Book#v5b255. $95. We specialize in Rare Ayn Rand, history, and science.
