Bomp (co-written with Suzy Shaw) entered the LA Times Bestsellers today at #13. So will it do better next week or quietly drop out? We wait and see.
(For all the dope on the book, scroll back to December 10th)

Its a beautiful book Mick. Fantastic job. I got both this & the Creem book just before xmas.
I will get this book, I swear. It's just that I don't trust the winternet with my credit card. Or just don't trust my computer's security. The stores might have great security but my piece of crap laptop, nah.
But Bomp, back in the mid to late 1970s was a saviour. A saviour goddamit!
I mean, I still like Bob Segarini. And who was his favourite Jules Verne character?

You could try the Bomp Store. I think they'll sell you one without a credit card.

I just got back from NYC and DC, and was greeted with the atrocity of the LA Weekly claiming that the Creem book was undernourished and in need of far more attention. I have taken a gander at the re-heated dross that is the Creem retrospective and wonder why n-one seems to understand that it is Crap loaded with too few even interesting snaps, owing to, perhaps, the cheapness of the people involved who did not wish to pay licensing fees for engaging photographs.
Meantime, a truly fabulous book—from the case-bound bindery to the splendid reproduction of the real thing—continues to move diligently albeit far below radar. It is sad.
But I am happy I have my copy, which I cherish.
