ERNIE: A PHOTOGRAPHER'S MEMOIR was first published by a small Santa Barbara press in 1985. By all accounts, ERNIE was a phenomenon, selling an estimated 100,000 copies. Photographer Tony Mendoza had captured the mercurial character of that irascible, self possessed, utterly lovable cat, telling the curiously moving story of their relationship in the voices of both himself and Ernie. Our beautifully produced hardcover edition of this classic tale is poised to charm legions of new readers. Featuring never before published pictures, and a few more private thoughts from Ernie himself, ERNIE is sure to steal hearts all over again.
