The expensive, the rare, the flashy- as a person who enjoys having a library but doesn’t always have disposable income, there are certainly some tomes that I debate with myself on owning. Most recent one is the complete Laskimooses that Matti Hagelberg released- http://instagram.com/p/CTWiKVyMvGN I’ve followed his work for a while and this thing looks like a beast. Shipping a book from Finland with no translation though… Anyone else have that ebay alert open for themselves? |

Maybe Printed Matter will end up getting some. I've thought a few times about a making big Laskimooses order from them. But at $8 each thats not cheap either.  |

Yah expensive but any issue I have gotten is great, worth it to read the translations page on fortune cookie size font

I got a reply from him saying that so far nothing plan for distro beyond what his Finnish publisher is doing, hes trying to get it in English and French- this also could be a tall order for US publishers for sure. This thing looks insane though, but I know the shipping is likely too insane. Maybe if some saintly distro runner in this forum reached out to him tho... |

If there's some benefit to ordering in relative bulk (i.e., lower shipping cost per book) and we can coordinate enough people for it to make sense, I'd be glad to order them from the Finnish publisher and send 'em out to people elsewhere in the States. I have a lil online used bookstore, so it wouldn't be much of a hassle to add these to the shipping pile. |

I can’t make heads or tails of it. laskimooses.wordpress.com/ |

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I gave up on ever owning the books for Phoenix and ended up torrenting it, but was extremely depressed to do so. |

I've never been able to find Thickness #2 of that porny anthology series. i have 1 and 3 but man 2 doesn't seem to exist anywhere, like they printed fewer of them or something. I never even saw it in any stores.

One time when I was at Stuart Ng Books in Gardena, I saw an open clam shell on a cabinet that turned out to be a hand-bound Complete Raw Volume 1 with supplements. This video says there are 10 copies in existence lol: youtu.be/MpFKfpmrx9MI didn't disturb it; it seemed like that guitar in Nigel Tufnel's collection you don't touch or even look at. |

What a cool thing to find randomly. I wonder how much it cost. I'm still missing issues 4 and 7 for my collection. This binder press operates in the same town where my folks live, so I may stop by next time I'm there and chat them up. I've always wanted to professionally bind some of the older pieces in my collection and even things like my loose leaf copy of Truth Zone. |
