I spied this on a client's bookshelf the other day. Reminded me of my own copy. Takes me back to a time when so many designers wanted to do everything in the style of Mr Carson.
I do like the line of typesetting an entire article in Dingbats, as the interviewee as total prick. Would make decent Greasemonkey plugin to change the typeface and pages that bore you. I've never seen a webpage set in Dingbats - maybe it's time....
Amazon Synopsis is to the point, if a little unhelpful. Not sure it's really that potent.
A potent blend of selected pieces from Californian magazines "Ray Gun", "Stick" and "Bikini".

Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, Quentin Tarrantino, Michael Stipe and Oasis are among contributors.
