About Even a Daughter is Better
This is the true story of Mykel Board\’s journey into Outer Mongolia. Part black comedy, part travelogue, part memoir, Even A Daughter Is Better Than Nothing (the title is taken from a Mongolian proverb) recounts, among other things, a year of: teaching English at the National University in Ulaanbaatar, getting lost in the Gobi Desert, meeting the only rock band in Mongolia, having dinner with an arms dealer in China, sparring with Mongolian pro-wrestlers, witnessing a bizarre visit by Hillary Clinton and ritual sheep slaughter.
 
About I A, Meist (or The Portable Board)
The first compilation of the legendary Maximum Rock \’N\’ Rollcolumns. Fifty-three columns from 1985 to 2000. A huge, healthy dose of the caustic wit, provocative insights, and literary genius that has kept Mr. B as the longest running reason folks continue to pick up that venerable bible of the international underground punk community.
 
Mykel Board has written dozens of freelance articles and seventeen novels under pseudonyms. Maximum Rock\’n\’Roll has been printing his column for more than 20 years. His essays have appeared in several anthologies including Bisexual Politics, Hayworth Press and Good Advice for Young People, Last Gasp Press.
