The company took a chance, and within months record sales increased by over 800 per cent. His covers for Columbia—combining bold typography with modern, elegant illustrations—took the industry by storm and revolutionized the way records were sold. Over three decades, Steinweiss made thousands of original artworks for classical, jazz, and popular record covers for Columbia, Decca, London, and Everest; as well as logos, labels, adverting material, even his own typeface, the Steinweiss Scrawl. He launched the golden age of album cover design and influenced generations of designers to follow.

Serial Killers Unite #6 $2.00 – One of the most interesting issues of one of the most interesting zines we carry.

First, a letter from Ian Brady (who, with Myra Hindley, committed the pretty ghastly Moors Murders over in England) about the BP oil spill and the elastic morality of the ruling class. Then we really plunge to the depths of the human soul with a totally fucked up letter from sex killer Jeremy Jones. Creepy and Fucked and then followed by a drawing he did of Winnie the Pooh toting around a massive dildo. What? -EF

The first PBlock zine is Inland Architect by Christopher Smith $3.00 – A killer mad-science drawing zine, including a pair of mirror-vision bad-vibe-deflecting self-reflection glasses, some Teddy Ruxbin reverse engineering and new ingenuities for sippy straw technology to catch up with. Like the sign sez “Don’t feel up to making one you can buy one from me for 15 dollars.” With free homemade shades. -EF
The second PBlock zine is Over and Out #1 by Brad Westcott $5.00 – Yeah! O&O #1 splits its time between skate photo and hobo tag and train graf. Interview with Stackabones. -EF

MISCREANTS & MAYHEM BOOKS!
Beautiful on the Outside, Rich on the Inside by Douglas S. Hunter III (Upstate Chamber of Cobras) $20.00 – I think maybe you might need to come read this book right now. So many moons ago we got a book of fiction about wrapping Roy Orbison in Clingfilm. So this book sort of reminds me of that one. Really weird but immediately engaging. It’s about a guy posting a preposterous singles ad on Craigslist about being single and rich that started like this: “I am rich, and when I say rich, I mean I am dictating this to my professional typist while I am sailing to St. Kitts.” All that follows are the responses he’s gotten. And you know how you read something on line and you get sucked in to reading all the comments people make about it under it, and it turns into a big soap opera, people arguing and dialoguing with each other? Well, this reminds me of that too. And you know what else? The logo for the publisher is awesome too, so we’ll paste it in below. And oh! Valentine’s is right around the corner. What better gift to woo a weirdo?
