Upcoming book about classic Nickelodeon.

There's a book coming out in September called, "Slimed!". It's about old school Nickelodeon. Here's the summary:
Slimed! An Oral History of Nickelodeon’s Golden Age tells the surprisingly complex, wonderfully nostalgic, and impressively compelling story of how Nickelodeon—the First Kids’ Network—began as a DIY startup in the late 70s, and forged ahead through the early eighties with a tiny band of young artists and filmmakers who would go on to change everything about cable television, television in general, animation, and children’s entertainment, proving just what can be done if the indie spirit is kept alive in the corporate world of contemporary media… All from those who made it happen!
Be sure to pre-order it.

~*~troo 90z kidz~*~ are going to love this

I was curious as to what kinds of things might be in the book because that summary is really vague, and this article was pretty interesting, especially if it happens to be correct in the implication that the book will go into exactly how they managed to get crap past the radar so frequently.
I believe in second chances, and that's why I believe in you.
