The Book of a Year, The First Annual OUTSIDELEFT Hardy Annual
The somewhat popular pop culture critics at outsideleft. com publish an offline, decidedly old media collection of essays drawn from their online vault.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 14, 2006
The First Annual Outsideleft Hardy Annual is handy compendium of selected articles from the first year in the life of the somewhat popular website outsideleft. com. It's also a first foray into the old media world of book publishing and is available now from book retailers everywhere.
The Hardy Annual offers outsideleft's usual slabs of esoteric pop-inspired opinion and (some might say), wit, here is a love letter to less-revered celebrities, with healthy helpings of mostly forgotten culture.
Music, movies, vanity and verbal violence... Featuring contributions from outsideleft founders Alarcon and Lamont, editors, Joe Ambrose, Kirk Lake, Alex V. Cook, and contributors Andy Allison, Emerson O'Sullivan, Erin Pipes, Erin Scott, Henderson Downing, Karl Morgan, Kevin McHugh, Mindy Strouse, Ryan 'RJO' Stewart and Seth Sherwood.
Inside you'll find essays on the likes of Morrissey, Laura Cantrell, The Tangier Beat Generation, Michael Caine, Pete Doherty, Chocolate Covered Germans, a smattering of episodes from the 'Behind the Counterculture' Series, (which looks oh so good in print). Then there's the amazing cover from Andree Walker Design and... Oh so much more.
Published by the SideCartel, The First Annual Outsideleft Hardy Annual is currently available from Amazon. com, Barnes & Noble online, probably more places already, in the US and also in the UK. Other retail outlets are being added all the time - tell your local indie bookseller! It's distributed by Ingram's who are large. I think.
In support of the books release, reading-type events in London, Louisiana and Los Angeles are being plotted, dreamed up and schemed about for the forthcoming months - so watch this space if you'd like to attend.
The First Annual Outsideleft Hardy Annual is a small book of big, fast, unruly and loose opinions. Oh and did I say, "entertaining." Entertaining yes, but not suitable for all readers. No.
All this for only fifteen dollars.
