LONESOME Volume 1 The Preacher's Trail
Highly Recommended. By Yves Swolfs. Kansas, 1861. As tensions rise between the Northern and Southern states, a fanatical, violent preacher leaves a trail of corpses behind him, all the while calling people to take up arms against pro-slavery states.

POSTER MAN: Seymour Chwast
50 Years of Iconic Graphic Design. Essays by Shepard Fairey and Steven Heller. 140 curated posters by the revolutionary graphic artist Seymour Chwast provides context and insight into his five-decade career, as well as the poster genre itself. Since founding legendary Push Pin Studios alongside Milton Glaser and Edward Sorel in the 1950s, Chwast's posters have been widely celebrated for their combination of subversive style and strong political satire. His caustic humor, graphic hand, and visual commentary cleverly synthesize in a way that is both wry and immediately understandable. Schiffer, 2021....More.

Mature Readers

Serpieri West is finally here, but we have only five copies after filling advance orders. Availability is problematic. This and Eros by Serpieri have been long and difficult to get in with sufficient stock. Eros has yet to be officially listed, other than as a Coming item--we sold out our copies as soon as they came in. I won't officially list it until we have copies available again.

We have more of both Serpieri titles on the way — we hope - -but we can get no confirmation of when or if we'll get them. Two more titles in this series have been announced for release late this summer, including Eros II. We've tried to order enough copies from the get-go.... We'll be listing both soon.

Also here: Lorenzo Sperlonga's Foreplay, a signed hardcover of his sketches and drawings of lots and lots of naked ladies. Sperlonga also contributes to Lady Death Swimsuit #1 [LADSPE. $25].

Last up, a new 42nd Street Forever DVD, #46, with more 8mm “stag” films from the 60s to the 80s. Here are all the adult DVDs.

News & Notes

 

More Flesk News

This just in from John: “We are working on the new Franklin Booth book, two new Arthur Adams books, three new William Stout books, plus we are wrapping up two books by a pair of new artists. Then we have the J.A.W. Cooper book to start in June, plus two other new artists who we will start working with in the summer. Then we will have more books featuring Mark Schultz and Al Williamson to work on for 2022. There's more, but this is what we can share to date."

Damage issues, not perfect copies

We spend an inordinate amount of time going through books, copy by copy, to make sure what we send you is as-new. With no damage issues. But...please understand that the reality is that perfect, 10.0 copies can't always be available on every title. This week, our wonderful new Alex Niño books came in well packed, yet some copies have a tiny corner dent, or even a couple. Many people might not even notice it, but we do. Sometimes we just have to live with it.

Another example would be the Serpieri books from Italy — by the time they get 6000 miles from Italy to here, often they just are not perfect anymore. But that's all we have. We will always try and note this in the description when we are forced to offer less than perfect copies. If you have to have the perfect copy, first of all, you need to state that on every order you place. We'll do the best we can. But second, please understand when a minor imperfection creeps through, usually a tiny corner dent. Life happens.

Coming Items under $40

We normally don't announce items less than $40 in advance, due to the increased costs of packing and sending your copy separately. But we also want you to be informed when there are two editions available, and it's counter productive telling you a lower priced variant “will” be available, but you cannot order it now. So new policy, we will now list all editions and you CAN advance order these lower priced editions...a good example is Frank Cho's Pencil and Ink for $24.95, listed above.
