It’s Our Wishy-Washy Book Sale

book sale book sale book sale

An embarrassment of excellent, dirt-cheap sale books hit the shelves this week. And I do mean excellent — there’s not a single Dick Francis snoozer in sight. Here’s a quick sampling of the riches…

  • All Yesterday’s Parties: The Velvet Underground In Print, by Clinton Heylin
  • Suicide: No Compromise, by David Nobakht
  • Hot and Cold, by Richard Hell
  • Seymore Chwast’s graphic designer must-have, The Push Pin Graphic
  • Amnesia Moon, Jonathan Lethem’s first and most PKD-ish novel,
  • The Other Hollywood, Legs McNeil’s oral history of the porn industry
  • Punk Rock Aerobics, Richard Simmons’ tell-all biog (not really)
  • Chicago’s Dive Bars

There’s lots more greatness, too much to list here. So stop by the store and check it out, already.

Giant Sof’Boy

Press Pop just released a giant Sof’Boy doll. It’s as tall as 7 packs of Marlboro Menthols, and it’ll set you back about 3 cartons.
