Writer, editor, producer and actor Jason Liebig joins Tim to talk about the Sears Wishbook. Jason is the creator of a website called WishbookWeb.com, which has archived complete, high-quality scans of Sears Wishbooks and other holiday catalogues going back to 1933. In this episode, we talk about a holiday tradition sure to bring a smile to your face. This episode was first released on December 10, 2018. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Sears_Wish_Book.mp3 The very first Sears Wish Book was published in 1933. It featured dolls, a Mickey Mouse Watch, Lionel electric trains, fruitcakes, chocolates and even live, singing canaries. The store catalogue was 87 pages long, and featured 25 pages of toys for kids and 62 pages of gifts for adults. The Sears Wish Book grew over the decades, so that by 1968, it totaled 605 pages. And in 1998, it went online with Wishbook.com This year, Sears will not publish a Wish Book, but that is not stopping many from revisiting their childhoods through a website called WishbookWeb.com. Jason Liebig is the man behind it. Sears Wish Book History The first Sears Wish Book came out in 1933. Prior to that, in 1896 the Sears general catalogue included wax candles for Christmas trees. But 1933 was the first year Sears devoted a full catalogue to Christmas. The term Wish Book was an informal name. The real name was Sears Christmas Book Catalogue. The company made it a tradition to put colorful, warm Christmas scenes on the cover. The company published the book annually from 1933 until 1993. The Chicago Tribune once described The Wish Book as, “so central to holiday expectations it read like a catalog of middle-class American Aspiration … To flip through one today is to see what we thought our homes and holidays should look like.” The Wish Book was delivered early. It would usually appear in mailboxes during the late summer right when the school year started.

From the outset, the goal of the WishbookWeb project has been to archive, preserve, and share the wonderful holiday gift catalogs of the past – making them freely-available to anyone with a web browser. Inspired by the pioneering work of websites like Plaidstallions and MegoMuseum, who had already been sharing select pages of vintage catalogs online, our goal was to build upon that idea by sharing entire volumes, every section and every page. As you see it now, WishbookWeb represents the product of hundreds of hours of work to create the current archive.

It's a whole new era on Graymalkin Lane as we jump into the early 2000s, where Marvel Comics was a very different company and the X-Men was a busy franchise. Years after his famous runs on X-Men, Alpha Flight, and more, John Byrne launched a whole new series set in the early years, before Giant-Size X-Men #1 ever launched! And this week, Chad has the honor of being joined by that books editor, Jason Liebig (now a beloved host on the History Channel) and that books colorist, Gregory Wright!
