#Unflattening, a graphic novel experiment to help combat flat thinking at #QuimbysBookstore

A photo posted by Quimbys Bookstore (@quimbysbookstore) on Mar 28, 2015 at 10:07am PDT

Unflattening by Nick Sousanis (Harvard U Press) $22.95 – An experiment in thinking that takes cues from Edwin A. Abbott’s Flatland and with chapter titles like “Fifth Dimension” and “Awakening,” there is no way you’d want to pass up Unflattening, especially if you have time to kill while you’re waiting for your weed dealer. Sousanis counteracts the “flatness” of rigid thinking by suggesting that when we make meaning we incorporate and reevaluate different vantage points. He uses comics to weave together our diverse ways of seeing, drawn from science, philosophy, art, literature, and mythology to discuss human perception. Humanities in da house.-LM

The Art of Lee Brown Coye’s Final and Darkest Era, ed. by Mike Hunchback and Caleb Braaten (Feral House) $39.95 –  No other artist working in mid-century pulp fiction created work as twisted as Lee Brown Coye. His eerie cover art and illustrations graced many Arkham House books, most notably those by H.P. Lovecraft.

With nearly one hundred gloriously rendered Coye-penned images, Pulp Macabre showcases Coye’s final and darkest era, containing some of the most passionately ghoulish artwork ever made.
