Over the weekend Brian from The Daily Cross Hatch blog came though the store. We had a short chat and he did a nice feature about us on his blog. For those of you who have never set foot in the store there are some good pics and some well edited quotes from me waxing about the store and the hood. Looks good, so thanks Brian.

WHOA! Two weeks worth of new stuff coming at you! Sorry folks I missed a week took a little time off to visit London. Which I have to say had two really great comic shops with Gosh and Forbidden Planet! But now its back to the grind and WOW, tons of stuff came out in the past two weeks! Fall books they are a dropin’.
Subtitle of Concrete Inspection by Crispin Hellion Glover: “A Manual of Information And Instructions For Inspectors With Standard And Typical Specifications.” Actually it’s a collage telling the story about the narrator’s mother (among other things). Even though it’s a black hardcover with copper engraving (I think maybe engraving is the right word), it feels very zine-ish ’cause of its cut-and-paste approach. Funny that the story would be about the narrator’s mother (and we realize you should never assume the narrator is the author), since when we call the publisher (Volcanic Eruptions) to place reorders, we’re pretty sure that we talk to Crisin’s mom. We’re not 100% sure on this one, but well, pretty sure. Maybe. Anyway, we have some of his other books too, here.
