(RE/Search People Series 1)     $15.99
Probably the most disturbing of the REsearch series to date: these pictures

helpful as he battles cystic fibrosis, the incredibly painful disease he's
afflicted with.

The true story of the wife of the man who gave a name to "masochism."

FERAL HOUSE PRESS

Apocalypse Culture
Adam Parfrey, ed.     $12.95
The seminal book for the millennium, featuring non-fiction on all sorts of odd
goings-on. Parts will amuse you, parts will repulse you, but it will
definitely get a reaction! Disagreements about the appropriate reaction have
been known to break up marriages - watch out!

CAD: A Handbook for Heels
Charles Schneider, ed.     $12.95
Lovingly assembled collection of 50s cheesecake - nostalgia for the hep
playboy. Another book that has been quietly pulled off bookshelves for not
being PC .

Cosmic Retribution: The Infernal Art of Joe Coleman     $22.95 
Frighteningly beautiful stuff. Gore, violence, sex - not for the kiddies or
the squeamish. Another winner from Adam Parfrey's press.

The Devil's Notebook
Anton Szandor LaVey     $10.95
An original collection of LaVey's darkly humorous essays. Readers will note
similarities to H.L. Mencken - and P.T. Barnum - in America's most famous
satanist's approach.

I Cried, You Didn't Listen: The Story of America's Incarcerated Children
Dwight Edger Abbot with Jack Carter     $10.95
Another true tale about an unwanted kid who was OK before he was sent to the
California Youth Authority jails for being a wanted kid. The sort of book one
usually calls "a scathing indictment."

Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life & Art of Edward D. Wood Jr.
Rudolph Grey     $14.95
The definitive bio of the "world's worst filmmaker," Ed Wood, director of gems
like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and the autobiographical "Glen or Glenda?"

Burton film starring Johnny Depp!

Rants & Incendiary Tracts

Some of biggest mouths of the last hundred years run amok, from the Luddites
to Wilhelm Reich to Meir Kahane.

The Satanic Witch
Anton LaVey     $9.95
LaVey's manual for "satanic" self-help for women: surely an interesting
alternative to playing victim, if not for everywoman. LaVey expounds on some
semi-crackpot body and personality type theories within, but the advice on how
to manipulate men and get what you want out of life is actually pretty much on
the mark, if you're calculating enough to want to try it.

Secret and Suppressed
Jim Keith, editor     $12.95
What a collection of paranoid fact and fantasy! Disinformation, mind control,
cults, subliminals, millenialism, secret weapons, big conspiracies and more,
from a variety of political viewpoints. Fun reading for those not inclined to
believe everything they read: those who do will end up mighty confused by this
disparate set of ideas. 

The Secret Life of a Satanist
Blanch Barton     $12.95
The authorized and very funny biography of Anton LaVey, head poohbah of the
Church of Satan, ex-carney and most amusing character. "A great yarn," says
Steve.

Tales of Times Square
Art Friedman     $12.95
Raunchy, bawdy, hilarious, a little sad at the edges: this book of true tales
from the Times Square sex industry is written in a style reminiscent of 60s
men's magazines. Inside stories, with compassion for strippers, sex workers
and even sleazeballs. Highly recommended.

Tortures and Torments of the Christian Martyrs
Rev. Antonio Gallonio    $25.00 (out of print, but we've got a few left)
There's a reason that so many S&M practitioners are Catholics, and it's
stories like these. Lovingly detailed descriptions of the sufferings of the
early saints, more explicit than the Lives Of the Saints books your grandma
kept around. And with illustrations from "contemporary artists and loathsome
criminals," including S. Clay Wilson, Charles Manson and Crispin Glover.


AMOK PRESS

Disguised as a catalog, this "reading list from Hell" (sez John Waters)
presents a laundry-list of strange literature. 400+ pages of fun! But
remember, most$60.00

anti-political/cultural rants, and music ever. Laibach, the industrial group,

collective, creating a state of art in opposition to the State. "It's the best
damn art book I've seen." - Steve. By special order only.

Stories from inside and outside of the drug world, both personal and academic.

Grace Beats Karma: Letters From Prison 1958-60
Neal Cassady     Blast Books     $12.95
If you've never read any of Cassady's stuff, these letters, written to his
family and wife from San Quentin, are really much more interesting than his
more self-conscious efforts at being a "real" writer. If he had had an
education, we'd probably all call Jack Kerouac "you know, Neal Cassady's
sidekick" instead of the other way around. 

Guillotine: Its Legend and Lore
Daniel Gerould     Blast Books     $14.95
Lore of the guillotine examined: Everything you've wanted to know about the
guillotine but were afraid to ask !

AUTONOMEDIA/SEMIOTEXT(E)

The Aesthetics of Disappearance
Paul Virilio     Semiotext(e)     $9.00
Steve says all Virilio is god, therefore you must buy this book. Next on his
reading list. Seems to have something to do with the meaning of consciousness
and unconsciousness.

Columbus and Other Cannibals
Jack D. Forbes     Autonomedia     $10.00
A very interesting book, which takes as its thesis that aggression, violence,
rape, imperialism, etc. are the manifestations of disease. Forbes is a
professor of Native American Studies at UC Davis and one fine writer. How can
this disease be healed? Some ideas on that are here too. I've never read
anything else like this.

The Damned Universe of Charles Fort
Louis Kaplan     Autonomedia     $10.00
You could call this a "best of" Fortean science. Charles Fort was the
eccentric collector of weird scientific data, such as self-combustion, rains
of frogs and poltergeists. 

A Day in the Life: Tales From the Lower East Side
Alan Moore & Josh Gosciak, editors     Autonomedia     $7.95

Indiana.

simultaneous shredding of pop music, illustrated by some slightly academic but
still interesting essays on subjects like the late Sun Ra, the Residents and
Phil Ochs.

Friendly Fire
Bob Black     Autonomedia     $6.00
Friendly? From Bob Black? Well, alright, I was there when he allegedly tried
to torch Processed World, says Steve, but I don't hold that against his
writing. (Everyone I know says he's an asshole but a damn good writer.)

Gone To Croatan: The Origins of American Drop-out Culture
Ron Sakolsky & James Koehnline, eds.     $12.00
We've had this all of a month, and already had to re-order twice. Suppressed
history of America's multiethnic, tribal, counterculture past, as illustrated
by groups like the midwest's Tribe of Ishmael, maroon societies, "Indian"
tribes that may not be and more. You'll stay up all night to read this one,
then tell all your friends to buy it too.

The Lost Dimension
Paul Virilio     Semiotext(e)     $10.00
Time, space, terrorism - I must admit, Virilio's a bit deep for me. But Steve
thinks his books are grand. ("Hell, they're god!" was the actual quote.) Call
and ask him what this is about, will you?

Magpie Reveries: The Iconographic Mandalas of James Koehnline
Autonomedia     $10.00
Collage art from the guy who does all those cool designs for Autonomedia, the

household servants in Saudi and angry Italian housewives. Interesting
commonalties are exposed, along with possible avenues for New World
Order-busting.

On An(archy) and Schizoanalysis
Rolando Perez     Autonomedia     $8.00
A book on recognizing and combating the fascism of everyday capitalist life.
Perez gets into Neitzsche, psychology, our shared experience of pop/consumer
culture and more, without making his points impossible to understand.

Popular Defense and Ecological Struggles
Paul Virilio     Semiotext(e)     $6.00
From Semiotext(e)'s Foreign Agents series comes this informed commentary on
the military's new self-appointed role as global eco-cop. As the war machine
seeks to spread beyond national borders, struggling to become the totality of
human existence, how can we resist? Philosophy with a purpose.

Radiotext(e)
Neil Strauss and Dave Mandel, eds.     Semiotext(e)     $12.00
Wow! The latest from Semiotext(e) ranges from early Berthold Brecht opinions
on radio as a revolutionary medium to the current state of sabotage and
piracy. Big, cram-packed with amazing stuff.

Remarks on Marx
Michel Foucault     Semiotext(e)     $6.00
Another Foreign Agents volume based on an interview with the French
philosopher, touching on his early Communist days, his opinions on various
philosophical schools and personalities, views on the actions of May '68, and
more. Steve says "Foucault is god too - OK, so I'm pantheistic."

intoxication and pederasty, Islamic Satanism and more, with an extensive

Cyberpunk old (William Burroughs) and new (Bruce Sterling), with several
extremely excellent SF stories. John Shirley, J.G. Ballard, Philip Jose
Farmer, more.

Semiotext(e): USA
Autonomedia     $12.00
So full of stuff this thick book is bursting at the seams. The theme this time
is psychotopography: to those not into big-word-ese, personal geography. That
means stories about physical places and places in the human psyche, all
according to these writers and artists. Plus you get addresses for all the
contributors and a big classifieds section too.

Speed and Politics
Paul Virilio     Semiotext(e)     $6.00
The winner of a nuclear war no longer grabs territory or resources. Instead,
the winner is the person who gets the furthest away from the territory. This
is a fundamental change in war strategy. Speed is now highly important.
Exploring the new front of warfare: controls on motion, movement and time
itself. Steve says "Virilio is the Clausewitz of our age."

Still Black, Still Strong: Survivors of the U.S. War Against Black
Revolutionaries
Semiotext(e)     $6.00

war with local and federal law enforcement, imprisonment under the most
hostile conditions, and the dispiriting deaths and conversions of friends and
comrades. Bin Wahad and Abu-Jamal are both US political prisoners, Shakur is
in exile in Cuba.

Hakim Bey     Autonomedia     $6.00
A series of essays from one of modern anarchism's more interesting thinkers.

"poetic terrorism."

The Touch
Michael Brownstein     Autonomedia     $6.00
A novel on sex, AIDS, therapy and more with some pretty hot scenes. If Kathy
Acker says it's "disturbing," it's probably worth a read to many of you.

This is Your Final Warning!
Thom Metzger     Autonomedia     $6.00
Anarchistic sci-fi that seems all too frighteningly plausible, and by a fellow
Moorish Orthodox feller to boot.

Trotskyism and Maoism: Theory and Practice in France and the United States
A. Belden Fields     Autonomedia     $10.00
It's rare that anyone attempts objective history where these Marxist heretical
tendencies are concerned. Explains the buzzwords, identifies the adherents,
and provides hours of unintentional fun for those who like to drag present-day
ideologues of the SWP, RCP et al. through the mud for past idiocies and
schisms.

pitfalls to avoid. Very well-written and up-to-date, with good legal and
personal advice.

The World Power Foundation: Its Goals and Platform
Thomas, Harold, ed.     $7.95
This volume presents the goals of the shadowy World Power Foundation, a group
dedicated to bringing back slavery and dictatorship - with themselves at the

price of admission " - Steve.

section on extending the practice to the electronic frontier.

Cyber-Psycho's A.O.D.     $4.00
The editor goes to some lengths to say this isn't a cyberpunk zine, but it
does have some of that edge flavor to it. Band interviews with Pigface, Crash

of rather warped "pain trading cards."

photoillustrations.

here).

Columbus, the Indians & Human Progress
Howard Zinn     Open Magazine Pamphlet Series     $3.50
A brief alternative history, eminently readable, from our favorite historian.

industrial union movement. Coxey's Army, Debs, the Wobblies, sabotage.

Ecodefense
Dave Foreman and Bill Haywood     Abbzug Press     $20.00
It's back - the classic book for would-be defenders of our lovely planet. A
monkeywrencher's bible, with special attention paid to evading detection and
preventing harm to humans. You'd be amazed what common items like sand, a
hammer, a pair of wirecutters and a working brain can do. New, updated
edition.

The Ego and Its Own
Max Stirner     Rebel Press     $18.50
A fine tirade against the tyranny of mass movements and organizations.
Stirner, writing at the time of Marx (and often in reaction to the latter's
work), steadfastly held individual self-determination as his highest value. A
basic work that has been very influential on theorists and practitioners of
both left- and right-wing politics.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Anarchism But Were Afraid to Ask
Black Sheep/Dark Star/Rebel Press     $2.50
The past year has probably heard the word "anarchy" misused more often than

Failure to Quit: Reflections of an Optimistic Historian
Howard Zinn     Common Courage Press     $10.95
Zinn brings a radical historian's perspective to bear on struggle, war, higher
education, Plato and more.  An interesting collection, all written with verve
and wit.

Falsehood in Wartime
Arthur Ponsonby     $6.95
Remember that Kuwaiti girl telling Congress heart-rending stories of babies
thrown from their incubators by evil Iraqi soldiers? Remember that she turned
out to be a fake? Phony atrocity stories have always been in favor with any
business interest or government that's trying to justify a war. This book is a
classic (1928) exploration of how and why it's done. Might help you readjust
your bullshit detector.

French Marxists and Their Anthropology
Pierre Clastres     C.P.     $1.00
Rabid critique of Marxist ethnology, which all-too-often reduces human
relations to commodity and labor exchange mechanisms. This pamphlet is good
reading and superb ammunition for taking bogus academics and their confining
ideas to task.

Friendly Fascism: The New Face of Power in America
Bertram Gross     South End Press     $17.00
An American fascism could take many forms - theocracy a la Father Coughlin or
Pat Robertson, a classically fascist state under a charismatic "populist"
leader, or the more-likely scenario Gross envisions here: a collusion of Big
Business and Big Government that manages affairs for the powerful few with Big
Media to put a happy face on the whole mess (what did you say? we've already
GOT that??). Luckily, the last chapter of this book is hopeful and provides
some possible antidotes.

The Gemstone File
Jim Keith, ed.     IllumiNet Press     $14.95
You think you've read it all on the Kennedy assassination conspiracy? This
collection of theories, stories and possibilities will blow your mind. The
best version of "Gemstone" samizdat we've seen.

The German Guerilla: Terror, Reaction and Resistance
Cienfuegos Press/Soil of Liberty     $4.00
A history of terrorism in West Germany. Should make extra-interesting reading
now that the Stasi (East German secret police) affiliations of many RAF types
have been exposed.

Granddad's Wonderful Book of Chemistry
Kurt Saxon     Atlan Formularies     $24.95
A good basic chemistry book for the "home chemist," if you get our drift.
Saxon explains how to, um, AVOID explosive combinations, now NOT to create
poisons and other harmful or caustic compounds. With instructions for an
easy-to-make, infinitely useful and inexpensive chem-lab you could set up in
your basement - how to make your own beakers and stuff, too.

History of the Mahknovist Movement
Peter Arshinov    Freedom Press     $13.50
First-hand account, translated by Fredy Perlman, of the Mahknovist movement in

until finally overthrown by the Communist state's forces.

The Hoax of the Twentieth Century

Banned in Canada due to its political stance.

How it All Began: The Personal Account of a West German Urban Guerilla 
Bommi Baumann     Pulp Press     $5.95

Manson, doing drugs, and becoming a terrorist.

File this with Spengler's "Decline of the West" as an impassioned call to
defend "Western"/European culture.

Joe Peacott     B.A.D. Press     $4.50
A brief introduction to the ideas of individualist anarchism (as opposed to
the collectivist varieties) from a member of the Boston Anarchist Drinking
Brigade. (As anarchotribe names go, I still think Revolutionary Anarchist
Bowling League, the infamous RABL, wins hands down.)

It's a Conspiracy!
The National Insecurity Council     EarthWorks Press     $9.95
Not the most complete conspiracy book, but which one is? It might be one of
the funniest, however: Although the information is as serious as a heart
attack, there are also plenty of laughs in the presentation. I guess it's the
"if I didn't laugh I'd have to cry" syndrome. From JFK to Elvis to Malcolm X.

The Idle Warriors
Kerry Thornley     IllumiNet Press     $10.98
Why is Kerry crazy? Because he was Lee Harvey Oswald's Marine-era roommate,
and wrote a book about it - before the Kennedy assassination! This is that
book.

Intervention 20 (LeftRight) 10.00 
Australia's version of Semiotext(e), this is mostly about deconstructionism,

the highest order. Terrific slogans to laugh with and live by.
    
Message to the People: The Course of African Philosophy
Marcus Garvey     The Majority Press     $9.95
Black Muslim theology, Black separatism, Rastafarianism all share one common
factor: the teachings of Marcus Garvey. Garvey preached  self-reliance, led an
American-based back-to-Africa movement, and the lectures collected here were
the core of a course in community organizing and self-preservation that is
still of value today.

the Hudson's Bay Company.

On the Mass Bombing of Iraq and Kuwait, Commonly Known as "the Gulf War"
Tom Leonard     AK Press     $4.50
British take on the recent unpleasantness in the Middle East, media
manipulation, etc. with "Leonard's Shorter Catechism," a Mencken-like
dictionary flaming the even more obscurantist Brit equivalents of terms like
"smart bombs."

On Organization
Jacques Camatte and the Invariace group     50"
A somewhat Stirnerite meditation on how political groups invariably become
representative in nature. Not a good plan if it's false schemes of
representation you're opposing! The group that produced this pamphlet
dissolved itself shortly thereafter.

Poll Tax Rebellion
Danny Burns     AK Press     $10.00
What is they gave a tax and nobody came? This book, which landed our pal the
publisher in deep hot water, provides the answer. Most Americans are
blissfully unaware of the poll tax (an equal tax on every person, regardless
of income or age) perpetrated on Scotland in 1989. The plan was to to test it
there first, then expand it to the rest of the Motherland. But the proles
refused to pay, and the taxman was faced with a Revolting spectacle. 

The Poor Man's James Bond, Vol. 2
Kurt Saxon     Atlan Formularies     $24.95
You were expecting to find the Anarchist Cookbook somewhere in here? Fat
chance - it's full of misinformation and we'd hate to see anyone get hurt, now
wouldn't we?  You never know what fool might want to build homemade bombs,
play with improvised munitions or build grenades on the kitchen table. We
recommend simply READING about such things. This book should satisfy your
curiosity.

The Poor Man's James Bond, Vol. 3
Kurt Saxon     Atlan Formularies     $24.95

(don't try this stuff at home, kids - for informational purposes only.)

Progress Without People: In Defense of Luddism
David F. Noble     Charles H. Kerr     $15.00
"Luddite" is generally thrown as an insult, meaning someone who opposed
technology without reason. The original Luddites had plenty of reasons to
raise a ruckus, however - they were trying to save their reputation for high
quality, not to mention their ability to set their own woking conditions.
Noble brings these ideas into the age of computers, robots, "Total Quality
Management" scams - and Microserfs with an bad attitude.

Race First
Tony Martin     The Majority Press     $10.95

petty theft, it's all here in hilarious detail, and in perspective.

Seige
James Mason     Storm Books     $20.00 ( signed)
Hot - very hot - off the presses, this is a strange, interesting, provocative,
outrageous book from a follower of both Hitler and Manson. Mason writes about
Armed Struggle with capitol letters for a reason. Excellent reading for those
who want to know the extreme radical right's strategy, including urban warfare
plans. "It's the most interesting  political theory I have read for a long
while, he's well-read, smart , and just  happens to be a  nazi." - Steve.

The Survivor, Vol. 4
Kurt Saxon     Atlan Formularies     $24.95
Saxon is a down-to-earth survivalist with intimate knowledge of what he's
talking about. His anti-religious stance is a refreshing change from the usual
Xtian/"prepare for the Rapture" crap in other survivalist books. Basically,
this thick, large-format volume lays out instructions and tools and processes
for  stuff like wind generators, making sauerkraut, making bricks, building
and using a simple loom and even making toys. He's a fan of 19th-century
technology as well as newer discoveries. Fun or essential to read, depending
on if you expect civil war to erupt next week.

A good S/M manual that's not just for dykes. One of the best '80s how-to books
on any subject. How to play it safe, both physically and emotionally (the
latter is left out of many straight S/M books).

Macho Sluts
Pat Califia, editrix     Alyson Publications    $9.95
Erotic fiction anthology with an S/M edge. A little earth mama goddess shit
but not too much. Plenty of humor with the sex,  lots of original (ahem ...)
situations.

SCUM Manifesto
Valerie Solanas     $4.00
There's more belly-laughs in this book than in most comic's stand-up routines.
Of course, Solanas took this "Society for Cutting Up Men" business
seriously...  she tried to off the he-man Andy Warhol. Recommended reading,
and not just for lesbian separatists or Bobbittizers. 

Susie Sexpert's Lesbian Sex World
Susie Bright     Cleis Press     $9.95
Susie Bright, the On Our Backs editor and increasingly well-known lecturer on
pornography, safe sex and fun, This book was her tour of the lesbian nation,
profiling its little subcultures and mining out bits of info. It's extremely
funny, such as the part on how she unknowingly simulated oral sex on a
Lutheran minister when demo'ing dental dams.

Susie Bright's Sexual Reality: A Virtual Sex World Reader
Susie Bright     Cleis Press     $9.95
It's fun, it's lighthearted, it's everyone's favorite vibrator saleslady
turned erotic missionary. Bright's anti-censorship, pro-good sex attitude is
refreshing. A dyke Dr. Ruth with something of value for straights too.  The
"virtual" in the title means, yes, there's stuff on phones, computers and
other safe-sex technologies.

Urban Aboriginals: A Celebration of Leathersexuality
Geoff Mains     Gay Sunshine Press     $14.95
An insider biologist's examination of gay S/M culture as an impromptu
tribal-bonding thing and as a way to work out issues of oppression, anger and
social roles.

Zeitgeist  
Issue Four     $17.95
Lotsa pix and stories about English folks who are all tied up and ready to
stay where you put them. Nice rubber clothes in the fashion shoots.

"ART" AND COMIX

The Art of Anarchy
Flavio Costantini     Black Flag     $10.00
Illustrations of famous moments in early anarchist history. Constantini's
style is sometimes reminiscent of stained glass, or collage, or even
photorealism. All profits go to the Anarchist Black Cross, which helps support
political prisoners and old anarchists (a good cause, sez us).

The Assault on Culture: Utopian Currents From Lettrisme to Class War
Stewart Home     AK Press     $13.00
Any book that can range from the French avant garde to our favorite wannabe
revolutionaries can't be all wrong. It's actually quite the good read, this
collection of essay-like bits on Bauhaus, the SI, punk, mail art etc.  "An A-1
fake book for  intellectual hipsters like you" - Mitzi.

Betty Page: Queen of Pin-Up
Taschen     $9.99
Like all Taschen art books, this one includes text in English, German and
French. Great shots of Betty Page, the queen of the bondage pin-up and Irving
Klaw's favorite subject. Page is absolutely adorable, and everything is in
innocent fun. Collectors and pin-up fans will enjoy.

Blab! #7  $8.95
Comic magazine, this time featuring strips from Joe Coleman, Spain Rodriguez,
Mark Trujillo, more. Hilarious take on H. Ross Perot by Mark Freidman.

Confessions of a Rat Fink: The Life and Times of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth
Howie Kusten     Topper Books     $12.95
Basically this is a stream of consciousness true life story, straight from the
master of hot rods and funny-car art and silly comix. Lots of very cool old
illustrations, of course, neat cover by Mitzi's ex-bandmate (and Roth's
current "Rat Fink" artist), R.K. Sloane. Buy it so Rick can pay the bills,  he
deserves it.

The Education of Desire: The Anarchist Graphics of Clifford Harper
Anarres Cooperative     $11.50
This is just a really fine book. A retrospective of Harper's work in a variety
of media, not just the woodcut-like drawings for which he is best known. With
lengthy (and very interesting) interviews that cover three decades of working
and living the radical life in Britain.

The Festival of Plagiarism
Stewart Home     $5.50
Home is a proponent of the artist's version of "sampling." An account of
several plagiarized-art shows, plus theory. Funny and interesting.

Hajime Sorayama
Taschen     $9.99
Sorayama could be described as a Japanese Olivia - these are detailed,
realistic renderings of fantasy girls in alluring poses, including some (for
you cybersex fans) that are rather metallic and/or robotic. There are pop-art
elements as well that add another dimension to his work.

HR Giger ARh+
Taschen      $9.99
All in English. A excellent - and very inexpensive - retrospective of Giger's
work, with a book-length interview. If you thought the sets for Alien were
awesome you will love this.

Jeanloup Sieff Posterbook
Taschen     $8.99
Like Helmut Newton, Sieff's black-and-white images walk the tightrope between
fetish and fashion. Sieff's photos have a kinder, healthier, non-misogynist
focus, however.  These classy, frameable prints would add something to any
underdecorated room.

Jeux de Dames Cruelles 1850-1960
Serge Nazarieff     Taschen     $9.99
Lots of silly spanking photos, certainly a find for the aficionado, and poster
designers, those looking for cool stuff to scan for a collage or screen saver
design etc. will doubtless enjoy these. Some very artistic shots, from French
postcards to Irving Klaw.

Jeff Koons  postcard book   
Taschen   $4.99
A small retrospective, from the silly to the sublime, of this pop artist's
kitschy work. Printed on 30 postcards that you can mail to friends or enemies,
depending on what you think of his stuff.

Joel-Peter Witkin: Forty Photographs
SF Museum of Modern Art     $20.00
Culled mostly from Witkin's 85/86 exhibition, this is the least expensive 
collection of his photos currently available. These are dark, disturbing
tableaux-like arrangements that combine live (and occasionally dead) models
with animal parts, religious icons and collage-like elements. Witkin is one of
the art world's biggest jerks, but his work is undeniably interesting and
compelling.

Kustom Kulture
Von Dutch, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Robert Williams & others
Laguna Art Museum/Last Gasp     $29.95
Companion volume to the landmark 1993 exhibit that finally gave these outsider
artists their due. From hot rods and custom bikes to those cool Rat Fink
models and "fine art" pieces, these guys combine industrial design with
surrealism, color and plain old insanity to create new artforms. Coolest
coffee-table book you could ever put on display.

Neoist Manifestos/The Art Strike Papers
Stewart Home     AK Press     $13.00
One of the UK's more dashing cultural terrorists, speaking about "art" now
that the strike is over. Didn't know there was an art strike? Read this to
find out why.

Paranoia Star
Suehiro Maruo     Kawade Personal Comics     $19.75
An unusual Japanese "manga" (comic) book. Violent, gory, surreal. Combines
horrific imagery with concentration camp and Nazi photos. Text in Japanese
(but don't let that stop you), imagines Axis takeover of US. Disturbing. Same
guy who did Dr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show.

Pierre et Gilles
Taschen      $9.99 
Their artwork is hard to describe. Some of this two-man team's influences are
Catholic kitsch, Hindu kitsch, Soviet realism and surrealism, with a strong of
homo-eroticism meets 3-D postcards meets the Thunderbolts and old kids' shows
from the 1960's. For example, Boy George was their model for Shiva.

Sexy Dreams
Taschen     $9.99
A collection of artistic modern pin-ups in a variety of styles, from
science-fiction/fantasy to cyberpunk to more traditional. The subjects are all
lovely and come in all races, some with tattoos, various cute outfits etc.
Contributions from many different artists, including Olivia and a number of
Japanese erotica specialists.

Tom of Finland
Taschen     $9.99
Bargain price for  a nice set of Tom's homoerotic art. Not the same as the
"retrospective" collection, although there is considerable overlap.

Tom Of Finland  postcard book
Taschen     $4.99 
Tom does it again with those big , we mean  BIG,  men on  30  little
postcards. Just be aware that you might experience trouble sending these
through the postal service.

Tom of Finland Posterbook
Taschen     $8.99
Six 31 x 44 cm posters, suitable for framing. Cover is a sexy Santa Claus -
maybe this would make a good Xmas gift for someone you know?

Tom of Finland Retrospective No. 1
London Press     $27.50
Something to give the OCA fits, and you might like it too. Tom's gay erotica
leans toward the leather/uniforms set, all the guys are more developed than
anything seen in real life ever. This book includes drawings from 1946 to
1987.

The Tradition of Constructivism
Stephen Bann, ed.     Da Capo Press     $3.98
Heavy-duty history of this revolution-inspired art movement, the first time
many writings have been available in English. Thick trade paperback includes
chronology, illustrations, extensive bibliography. "A great read!" - Steve.

The Unknown Deserter: Nine Drawings by Clifford Harper
Working Press     $4.00
A story in pictures of a British deserter executed in WWI. A good little book.

Variant #14     $11.50
Britain's best art magazine , this issue is mostly about video artists, and a
little about the whole cyberpunk thing and its relation to viddies, etc.

Views from a Tortured Libido
Robert Williams     Last Gasp     $24.95
A showcase of 60 of Williams' wacky oil paintings, which combine psychedelic
visions with American pop-culture iconography. 

Visual Addiction: The Art of Robert Williams
Last Gasp     $24.95
Williams mixes all-American elements like pin-up girls, tattoo art, influences
from Big Daddy Roth, advertising and collage to come up with an original
strange brew. Illos in both black and white and color. "I have to admit to
liking Williams' titles better than his art, but I know that nearly all my
buds think his stuff is great. " - Mitzi.

Wild Wheels
Harrod Blank     Pomegranate  Press     $25.00
If you loved the movie (or didn't get to see it), you'll really love this
book. Great shots and stories about wacky "art cars" created by both "folk"
and "serious" artists. Coffeetable-quality hardback, includes Portland's own
"Our Lady of Perpetual Combustion" car.

Zombie Mystery Paintings
Robert Williams     Last Gasp     $24.95
The subtitle, "40 masterpieces that are morally insolvent and grossly
artistic," pretty much says it all about this newest Rob't Williams
collection. With pseudo-art-crit commentary that's really funny.


MUSIC THAT MATTERS

Black Words on White Paper: Clock DVA
Contempo International      $20.00
Complete with a CD of unreleased industrial meanderings, this small, sealed
book looks like essential reading and looking for fans.

Einsturzende Neubaten
Stampa Alternativa      $17.40
Visually arresting book that includes bilingual (English/Italian) interviews
with the German masters of industrial music, plus biographies, discographies
and lyrics. Also includes a Mini-CD of unreleased material.

Hawkwind: The Never Ending Story of the Psychedelic Warlords
Materiali Sonori Exports     $17.40
Slim bilingual book with photos and an unreleased CD recorded live in 1990.
Songs include "TV Suicide" and "Hi Tech Cities" - book (which is sealed)
surely contains some good, weird stuff on this influential band.

Rhythmajik: Practical Uses of Number, Rhythm and Sound
Z'ev     Temple Press     $17.95
Equal parts magic book and music book. Z'ev's work is usually categorized as
"industrial," although the underlying framework that uses is anything but.
This volume lays out his methods for linking sounds with alchemical,
astrological, magical and mathematical equivalents to create compositions that
he believes are powerful on more than one level.

Sonic Life: Inside Sonic Youth
Materiali Sonori Exports     $17.40
Bilingual biography, interviews, photos, complete discography and lyric sheets
from this New York-based cult favorite.With a bonus 7" single of unreleased
music.

Tape Delay
Charles Neal     SAF Publishing Ltd.     $19.95
Interviews and essays and photos on all sorts of noise-oriented bands. Steve
says it's great music writing - and he HATES music (or so he claims).
Einsturzende, Psychic TV, Sonic Youth, Laibach, New Order, Test Dept. etc.

Uncle Willie's Highly Opinionated Guide to The Residents
Ralph America     $13.95
There's never been anything like a Residents show for combining music,
costumes, sets, insanity and surreal/seemingly accidental comedy. Not even
Devo (although the comparison could be made). This fairly thick book includes
everything from album art to interviews with The Masked Ones themselves.

(See also Art, REsearch, Autonomedia and other sections.)


LITERATURE & OTHER STUFF

Steve thinks that maybe in this section you might be browsing by favorite
author, so we arranged it differently. Hope you don't mind.

J.G. Ballard
War Fever
$3.99
Short stories in a speculative fiction vein, with the usual Ballard
surrealism, humor and apocalyptic subject matter.

William  Burroughs   
Electronic Revolution  
Expanded Media Editions  ( German Import)     $8.50
As always, prescient commentary from one of the 20th Century's few masters.

William Burroughs     
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Expanded Media Editions  ( German Import)     $11.50
In English and German, with very interesting illustrations. A transcription of
a Spaceship Earth-themed speech by Burroughs plus a related interview, with
far-reaching ruminations on human destiny and outer space, evolution, virus
theory, etc.

William Burroughs     
Naked Scientology/Ali's Smile
Expanded Media Editions   ( German Import)  $9.50
Burroughs' infamous rant on Scientology ("no body of knowledge needs an
organizational policy,") plus a short story with a Scientologist theme.

William Burroughs   
Painting & Guns  
Hanuman Books     $5.95
Wanted to buy this adorable little book but the ones at the bookstore had been
fondled to death? There's a lot of interesting stuff packed into its 3" by 4"
format. All about how Burroughs creates those art pieces with doors, paint,
guns, explosives etc., plus his general philosophy of art.

Buzz Callaway     
Specimen Tank
Manic d Press     $9.95
A kinda sick story about a couple of losers who end up as drug-test subjects
in New Jersey. The writing's good, the material's provocative, and there are
laughs and pathos.

Creation Press sampler
Cease To Exist
Creation Press     $9.95
Stories from several writers, including Rollins, James Havoc and Aaron
Williamson. Mostly about sex and death, obsessive, disgusting stuff.  "Mitzi
hates it, I ain't made up my mind yet" - Steve.

M. Gilland     
The Free
Attack International     $7.50
Fiction that could inspire a revolution. When Linda whacks a nun, her freedom
- and the world's - has just begun.

Brion Gysin
Dreamachine Plans
Temple Press Limited     $6.00
This pamphlet, now distributed by the Temple Ov Psychick Youth's publishing
wing, lays out instructions and includes templates for building one of the
most low-tech devices for altering your consciousness without drugs. Note:
avoid if you're prone to seizures.

Brion Gysin     
Morocco Two
Inkblot Publications     $6.00
Apparently a film script for a dramatic and funny film set in exotic locales.

Richard Hell
Artifact: Notebooks from Hell 1974-80
Hanuman Books     $6.00
Richard Hell was Mitzi's most-lusted-after punk rocker of the 70s, with his
brooding eyes, gorgeous lips, tight black jeans (pant pant pant). Plus he
wrote great poetry, and put it to rockin' music. This teeny tiny book is
jam-packed with stuff that reads like diary entries from a troubled and
brilliant boy.  Drugs, sex, NY punk scene insider tidbits, and well-written to
boot.

Stewart Home     
Pure Mania
Polygon     $20.00
This is the closest thing to punk/skinhead pulp you can find (at least until
Mitzi finishes her novelI). Vegan nazis and anarchists run amok in London's
East End, lotsa sex and violence. It's an import, hence the price, but you'll
like it so much you'll want to share it with a friend. We promise!

Herbert Huncke
Guilty Of Everything
Hanuman     $6.00
A great little book by the street hustler who gave Bill Burroughs his first
taste of junk. Huncke retells those great stories about New York in the
forties and fifties. Yeah, he was a junkie who ripped off his friends , but
fuck, that's what junkies do, he at least is amusing about it.

G.X. Jupiter-Larsen     
Raw Zed & the Condor
Bloodprint Press     $10.00
An experimental novel that has a very stream-of-wigged-out-consciousness feel
to it. Having to do with motorcycles and highways.

Comte de Lautr mont 
Les Chants de Maldoror
New Directions     $11.95
No, it's not in French: the title means "songs of Maldoror." The first
proto-surrealist classic, it's by a Uruguayan author of whom no pictures or
other information exists. Tres macabre: everything from the joys of maggots to
shark sex.

Jon Longhi     
Bricks and Anchors
Manic D Press     $7.00
Stories, rather strange ones. Very short, most of them. Mixing subjects from
personal narrative, all a bit stream of consciousness. Character sketches,
unfinished fragments.

Lydia Lunch     
Incriminating Evidence
Last Gasp     $12.95
Since the gal never shuts up, it's surprising that La Lunch still has anything
left to say. Lots of rants, printed in capital letters just so you get the
point. Also some sexy photos and some kinda creepy illustrations by Kristian
Hoffman. And what seems to be transcripts of conversations. Sometimes Lydia is
tiresome and sometimes her stuff is compelling.

Portable Lower East Side: V. 8 #1: Live Sex Acts     $7.00
A magazine/mini-book with contributions from several of New York's finest,
including Richard Hell, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Annie Sprinkle and Herbert Huncke.
The accent, obviously, is on sex. Vivienne Maricevic's  series of interviews
with porn performers is especially interesting and revealing (and not just in
the obvious way.)

Thom Metzger
Drowning in Fire
Signet     $5.50
No, not THAT Metzger - this one is a sci fi/horror writer. In this volume, he
tries his hand at hard-boiled crime fiction, and it ain't bad. Two young
adults come to terms with the legacy of their mobster father, and it doesn't
look like the  good guys necessarily win out in this thriller.

Thom Metzger
Shock Totem     $4.50
A strange child protagonist makes this medical thriller all the more
interesting. As his powers grow he becomes deadly, feared and hunted. Looks
like good reading.

John G.H. Oakes, editor     
In the Realm of the Unreal: Insane Writings
Four Walls Eight Windows     $12.95
Steve loves this "wonderfully happy" anthology of short works by people who
have been committed. Plus 16 pages of Adolf Wolffi, cool crazy artist guy.
Most of the writers are unknown - great in spots.

Rollins    
Art to Choke Hearts & Pissing in the Gene Pool
2.13.61     $15.00
If you haven't seen Henry Rollins do his spoken-word thing (or if you have and
loved it) this book is a good substitute. Even includes some erotic
interludes. Sensitive stuff from the guy who cold-cocked an ex-bfriend of
Mitzi's for saying hello some years ago . We are amazed. I guess his oversized
neck isn't the only muscle he's been developing.

Amy Scholder and Ira Silverberg, editors
High Risk: An Anthology of Forbidden Writings
Plume Books     $10.00
All your faves are represented, from Burroughs to Mary Gaitskill. Subjects
include S&M, prostitution, drug use, transsexuality and everything else that
ain't sugar & spice. Good stuff, one of the better short story collections
out.

Benjamin Zephaniah     
Inna Liverpool
AK Press     $3.50
Poetry in patois from a rastaman in Liverpool. The rhythm is like reggae,
these could be song lyrics but they're free verse. Fun to read, also
thought-provoking.  Reminiscent of Linton Kwesi Johnson.
