Gift suggestions!
by v/a
For the activist who needs to start getting things done on time:
We've still got plenty of the 2010 Slingshot organizers, in both spiral bound and pocket sized editions. An iconic bit of appropriate print technology, hand-illustrated, and chock full of useful information. And if Slingshot isn't quite your taste, we've got some brand new 2010 calendars on the shelves as well, with proceeds benefitting struggles from Palestine to Chiapas.
For the person curious about Baltimore history from below:
Back in stock is the amazing Baltimore Book, the classic volume of essays on Charm City's social history, covering labor struggles, desegregation, urban development, and much much more. And also back in stock is the incredible photo essay book Middle East Baltimore Stories: Images and Words from a Displaced Community, a joint project of Art on Purpose and the recently dissolved Save Middle East Action Committee. The book also includes two cds of interviews with neighborhood residents and community organizers, and can be yours for just $8!
For anyone who thinks the Old Testament can be a little extreme:
Sex, temptation, murder, betrayal, bizarre metamorphoses and talking snakes....in retrospect, there was absolutely no one more qualified than underground comics legend ROBERT CRUMB to illustrate the entire, uncut book of Genesis. Get this one quick!
Read on for more...
For the kids:
Just in is a great new selection of children's books --- including many bilingual titles from Cincos Puntos Press. Our favorite new kids book is hands down Pitch Black: Don't Be Skerd, a graphic exploration of homelessness and subterranean art.
For the punks:
We've actually got one of the best selections of really amazing books on punk we've ever had in the store --- lavishly illustrated, beautifully bound, and a perfect gift (because some of them are a little on the pricey side, making your favorite punk less likely to own a copy already). The highlight here is the new Punk Is Dead, Punk Is Everything, the sequel to the classic Fucked Up & Photocopied: Instant Art of the Punk Rock Movement.
For the undecided:
