[edit] Series 1 - 2004
[edit] The Bart Book
The Bart Book was released in the first series of the Library of Wisdom. The book was criticized for being too similar to the book Bart Simpson's Guide to Life, and the character biographies being too similar to the Complete Guide series.
[edit] The Homer Book
The Homer Book was released in the first series of the Library of Wisdom. The book received better reviews than The Bart Book, due to the fact there has not formally been a Homer-devoted book.
[edit] Series 2 - 2005
From the second series, the books changed slightly. The books no longer contained character biographies, and instead contained more locations pages. This series was criticized for its choice of secondary characters.
[edit] The Ralph Wiggum Book
The Ralph Wiggum Book was released in the second series of the Library of Wisdom. This book features the "wisdom" of Ralph - namely poems from him (including "The Other Little Ringworm"), a story of "Wigglepuppy", his imaginary canine friend and various quotes from him.
[edit] Comic Book Guy's Book of Pop Culture
Comic Book Guy's Book of Pop Culture was released in the second series of the Library of Wisdom. The book breaks a pattern in the title by not being called "The Comic Book Guy Book". This book is mostly about Comic Book Guy's take on pop culture, and little about the actual character himself.
[edit] Series 3 - 2006
These books were released on September 18, 2006. It was the third series and again, included two books. Fans were happier with these new books, as they focus on main characters, rather than secondary ones such as The Ralph Wiggum Book.
[edit] The Lisa Book
The Lisa Book was released in the third series of the Library of Wisdom.
[edit] The Krusty Book
The Krusty Book was released in the third series of the Library of Wisdom.
[edit] Series 4 - 2007
The two series 4 books will be Ned Flanders' Book of Faith and The Book of Moe
[edit] Innacuracies to the Show
In "The Ralph Wiggum Book", the shrine to Lisa Simpson has a "I Choo-Choo-Choose You" card, but that card was thrown into the fire by Ralph in "I Love Lisa".
