Amazon ships to Israel, yes? Or some other book seller? On the Gimme Something Better site, they have links to a bunch of different online bookstores.

Yay, another book I wanna read but can't. Oh well, the excerpts will probably do in that case.

^^I'm not allowed to order things online. Which sucks. Maybe I can convince my parents otherwise if I show them it's cheaper online. And I've wanted to read that Gilman book too, and Anthology.

Ah, I understand.

Check out the LIBRARY, too!

[Nikki_Nimrod]

Whoa, that sounds really awesome. I'm definitely asking for it for the holidays! I've been looking for a good book to read.

to whoever was going to get it from Barnes and Noble for $18, that is complete shit. Don't buy anything from B&N. Go online and search on your libraries website or buy used from Amazon. I was a bit shocked to see Penguin Published the book, otherwise i'd just say buy it from the publisher which is usually the cheapest.

yeah i do listen to pinhead gunpowder and i never figured out the meaning to westside highway im dumb

lol. the first line of the song is "there's a million Jews in New York and I'm one of them"

Right now, Amazon has it for $12.24 (plus tax & shipping), but there are used and new copies starting as low as $9 (plus shipping). And if your local library doesn't have it, you can always request it through Inter-Library Loan (ILL). ILL is a good way to get hard-to-find library books.

And I'm so stupid for not including this book in my last Amazon order!

Thanks for that!

Thanks for that!

You're welcome! A lot of times, the Amazon Marketplace sellers sell items even cheaper than Amazon. Just make sure they have a good (high) approval rating and look at their feedback.

Aaron Cometbus is going to be there too? Ugh! LOVE LOVE LOVE. I am so in love with his writing right now...cant get enough of it. He has a new COMETBUS out if anyone has any interest. U can get it thru LAST GASP publisher.

I can totally recommend Eggplants "Anthology" though. It's a great compilation of his fanzines and includes stuff from Billie Joe.

Hi Anja - what is Robert Eggplant book you are talking about? Thanks, Abbey

sorry i'm not anja, but..

Eggplant has an anthology of Absolutely Zippo called Anthology of a Fanzine. i love his stuff just for the kitchy-ness of it and for all the Green Day references but Cometbus will always be the best.

[Smoothed Out]
