Art of Modern Rock: Mini #2 Poster Girls by Dennis King
Rock poster guru Dennis King offers this collection of girls, girls, girls! In this pint-sized edition, King rounds up the rock 'n' roll vixens, indie beauties, alien seductresses and punk rock babes that have graced rock posters throughout the ages. This mini-book includes classic art from the original Art of Modern Rock plus loads of new material on the strong and sexy females of rock poster art. Rock fans and art enthusiasts will love this amazing collection of pop art with an attitude.
The Private John Lennon by Julia Baird
John Lennon's sister, Julia Baird, reveals the pain, difficulties and happiness of life inside the legendary Beatle's family. Julia covers everything from the singer's traumatic childhood when he was taken from his mother's custody to the strong, self-willed women that surrounded the Beatles frontman. Julia's story is poignant and raw, and shows a unique perspective on John's source of emotional fragility and musical genius, his special bond with his family, and the terrible series of events that ended in John's murder.
Band ID: The Ultimate Book of Band Logos by Bodhi Oser
Legendary graphic designer Bodhi Oser presents this amazing, fact-filled tome to rock 'n' roll logos. What would be rock without the tongue-and-lips of the Rolling Stones, the lightning bolt skull of the Grateful Dead, and Prince's glyph? Band logos have done far more than represent a band on the album's cover art. They have graced T-shirts, poster, pins, stickers and bodies in the form of tattoos. Oser offers more than 1,000 logos from every music genre from the 1960s to today, as well as insightful interviews with key logo artists.
