About the Publisher
In 2001, Clemson University Digital Press began issuing books for the Center for Electronic and Digital Publishing. Each year, the Center holds a forum on new technology, and speakers from different areas of study are invited to give presentations on a theme. The digital press’s first books were collections of these presentations. In five years, we have published 22 monographs, usually both in print and in online editions. (All our online editions can be accessed for free as a service to the public.) The digital press also publishes the state’s premier literary journal, The South Carolina Review, soon to celebrate its 40th anniversary, as well as The Upstart Crow: A Shakespeare Journal, now in its 25th year. Copies of Growing Up Cartoonist in the Baby-Boom South may be ordered from our website or accessed and read at www.clemson.edu/caah/cedp/cudpPublicationsMain.htm.
