Yet more new products for your shopping pleasure. First, we are pleased to announce that we are the exclusive U.S. distributor of the French drawing book Nazi Knife 6. No, we don’t love the title either, and not just because three-quarters of our family was wiped by the Nazis. But these young men are not Nazis – they’re just French noise dudes and they can’t help it! Anyhow, the contents are great. Amazing work from an international collection of weirdos: CF, Leon Sadler, Jonas Delaborde, Frederic Fleury, and many others. Yep. Also now in stock: Two great publications by Daniel Higgs and Bongout, published by our pals at Soundscreen! And

Hipgnosis was the biggest and best design firm for the biggest and best bands of the classic rock era. Formed by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell in 1968, Hipgnosis was a graphic design studio specializing in creative photography and working mainly in the music business designing album covers for many rock ‘n’ roll bands including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, 10cc, Yes, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath, Paul McCartney, Syd Barrett and Styx, among others. For a dozen years Hipgnosis created timeless rock iconography. For the Love of Vinyl is the first book to document their output in detail, focusing on over 60 package designs – from cover to label – written about in entertaining detail by the men who created them. Also included are short essays by musicians (such as Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason), artists (Peter Blake) and fellow designers (Paula Scher) on their favorite covers, as well as unseen photographs and ephemera. Complementing it all is a lengthy critical and historical text examining Hipgnosis and its legacy. For the Love of Vinyl will be THE rock book of 2008.
