R E V I E W
Another couple thousand punk rock flyers, posters, zines, setlists and rare photos collected by the same guy who brought you 1999's popular Fucked Up & Photocopied. Whether you're an oldster who used to sport liberty spikes and drink 40s outside a Reagan Youth show at The Rat or a young design head looking for some sloppy styles to bite, this book will hook you. It's filled with all the crude-yet-ingenious marketing tools that define the DIY aesthetic. The photocopied flyers and zines are just so full of miniscule details, you could squint and stare at this book for days and never catch everything. And if that ain't enough for you, there's also a foreword from Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi) and plenty more tidbits, interviews and stories about scamming Kinko's. Hardcover; 288 pages.
