Anyone got and read the book? It is already even out?

It seems to be the one listed at Cargo for £50 but the cover has changed(?)

It says the lauch date was end of August.

I'm not going to spend £50 on an unseeen book. I'll at least wait for reviews.

Juno £45. Pre-order.

I suppose this book will be on sale at Thurston Mooore's record shop in Stoke Newington, London.

a release date of 28 Oct is given in various places eg https://cargorecordsdirect.co.uk/produc ... nderground - most are showing £49.99 - can't see it flying off shelves at that price... it's 297 (H) x 210 (W) mm Portrait, 244pp

if it's cheaper at Moore's shop I might get it there - I've never been, though it's not that far from me.

btw the launch on 29 Aug did happen: https://t2conline.com/thurston-moore-op ... uin-hotel/ but none of the 'new' photos by James Hamilton are shown.

oh, the shop was only a 6 week pop-up in 2020

Anyone got the book so far?

i'm sure we'll hear if anyone gets it, but it's unlikely to appear before the publication date (not intended as sarcasm, it's just that for a small publisher, a delay is more likely than early arrival).

I live in the UK and just received my copy ordered from Juno. Nice!

I'm sure I've been there since then - sometime in the last year. It might not be the same venue as before, but it's in small yard with some other shops and businesses.The shop shares a premises with another record shop now. As far as I recall it was on Bouverie Rd. On the left coming off Stoke Newington Church Street. That's N16 0AH I think.

The shop did indeed relocate round the corner to the same site as Bolt Motorcycles. It's no longer open though.
