Customer Review: If you were an alien from another galaxy needing a crash guide to the underpinnings of US pop culture, you couldn't find a better guide then The Onion's new book, Inventory.

Customer Review: I'll keep this one short and simple...if you feel the desire to read a Klosterman book...this is the one. I truly enjoyed this book. Although I am a bit older than Chuck I cold relate to his experiences and thoughts. Now, you want some good advice? Stay away from Eating The Dinosaur and Killing... more info
Customer Review: Motley Crue: The Dirt is a collective autobiography about the founding, the life, and pre-drawn conclusion of the band. Neil Strauss did an excellent job formatting the book and getting each member's candid take on Motley Crue. Contradicting views are brought together and a few outsiders from the... more info
Customer Review: The serendipitous discovery of this book, just published in America on Nov 1st, has solved Christmas presents for FIVE friends, all of whom have more than a passing acquaintance with the piano as performers, amateur and professional.
