BOOK REVIEW - Balsamic Dreams |
|
|
By: Joe Queenan |
|
|
-Cover
An awkward but moderately eye-catching design - it's Joe's little head superimposed on a bottle of balsamic vinegar, so it (sort of) looks like the bottle's his body, with scratchy little stick-man arms and text drawn in the a crude black style against a blank w... |

BOOK REVIEW - The Python Diaries 1969 - 1979 |
|
|
By: Michael Palin |
|
|
-Cover
A colourised photo, against white, of Mr. Palin sitting on the ground like the schoolboy he still resembles under the wrinkles. The fashion speaks for the era. The text isn't much, but as a whole it works quite well combined with the impressive heft of the book.... |

BOOK REVIEW - Zeppelins West |
|
|
By: Joe R Lansdale |
|
|
-Cover
Comic-style gatefold (wrap-around) painting of the book's characters. Some nice colour choices, but overall rather 'soft' and lacking in detail, plus the back, for some reason, works differently than the front. It caught my eye, but really if the artist wasn't h... |

BOOK REVIEW - All Fun And Games Until Someone... |
|
|
By: Christopher Brookmyre |
|
|
-Cover
Brookmyre's entire catalogue has been visually re-worked. The new versions use the bold colours and loud, simple text of the previous designs but replace the smooth curves and single photographic elements with jagged, "cut-out" text and basic visuals which owe s... |

BOOK REVIEW - U.S.! |
|
|
By: Chris Bachelder |
|
|
-Cover
Not bad. A black & white photograph of Upton Sinclair, carefully overlaid with a modern T-shirt. Colours are tones of brown and red (appropriate), present in text and a bullseye over Upton's chest. It's subtler than it sounds, because the colours are well chosen... |

Good afternoon all,
Once again the quiz swings past on the merry-go-round of time. How long can it be before the quiz sprays the ceintrifugally-enhanced chunder of wisdom all over the recently happy parents of humanity? Not long, that's how long. Before that delightf... |

You Aint Gonna Quiz With My Daughter No More -4/12 |
|
|
By: The Tom |
|
|
Good Day! I said GOOD DAY SIRS!
Yes, pardon me, I'm a bit forgetful this morning - it's probably because recent research has shown that marijuana use causes memory loss! The same research, which I hope cost a lot of money, also showed that long term pot use causes br... |
