In the spirit of hope (and commerce) PictureBox<\/a> is holding a massive, two-week sale on nearly everything on our web site! It\u2019s a cold world out there, but what better way to pass the time than curling up with a visual book! Each book is a stimulus package for the soul! Plus every purchase from now (January 16) until February 1 will include a FREE copy of Paper Rad\u2019s DVD Problem Solvers.<\/p>\n

So, here we go:<\/p>\n

* Been curious about Overspray: Riding High with the Kings of California Airbrush Art<\/span><\/a>? This masterpiece has been lauded by everyone from Women\u2019s Wear Daily to the New York Times to Eye Magazine, and it can be yours for just $20!<\/p>\n

* Ever wondered about who made the best record covers of the 1970s? In awe of Houses of the Holy, Dark Side of the Moon and Electric Warrior? No need to be frightened, for all will be revealed by buying For the Love of Vinyl: The Album Art of Hipgnosis<\/span><\/a>. It, too, can be yours for $20!<\/p>\n

* Beguiled by mythical trappings and enamored of contemporary art and writing by my generation\u2019s best imaginations? Then dig into Trinie Dalton\u2019s MYTHTYM<\/a> for just $15! It\u2019s like going to a museum, reading the best book ever written, and watching a movie all at the same time!<\/p>\n

* Curious about the book about which the New York Times exclaimed: \u201cFew cartoonists of the moment are weirder or more original than Yuichi Yokoyama – his work obsessively diagrams architecture and design \u2026 Travel is remarkably entertaining.\u201d Travel<\/a> can now be yours for just $9.95!<\/p>\n

* Want to dip into a graphic novel on nearly ever top ten of \u201808 list? Interested in Dune? Philip K. Dick? What about masterful drawing? Well, my friend, check out C.F.\u2019s Powr Mastrs 2<\/span><\/a>, now just $10!<\/p>\n

* And then there\u2019s Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby<\/a>! The Village Voice crows: \u201cBy depicting human behavior at its worst, Nemoto recalibrates the limits of what we can bear to consider on a page of comics.\u201d Damn straight. Yours for $8.95!<\/p>\n

* Many consider Lauren Weinstein\u2019s The Goddess of War<\/span><\/a> a shortform masterpiece of graphic storytelling. I sure do! Richard Gehr calls it a \u201cA blend of Marvel\u2019s Thor comic, a Wagnerian space opera, and Anthony Mann\u2019s Westerns\u201d Sounds right to me! Yours for just $7.95!<\/p>\n

* And, good heavens, where else can you find Michel Gondry\u2019s visionary memoir\/manifesto\/guru-text You\u2019ll Like This Film Because You\u2019re In It<\/span><\/a>? The man is a genius, and the book is a helluva a lot of fun to read. Inspirational and educational too! Now just $6.95!<\/p>\n

* Wait a minute, what about The Ganzfeld 7<\/span><\/a>? Co-edited and designed by Paper Rad\u2019s Ben Jones, this final issue actually elicited an email from one notoriously cranky woman stating \u201cIt\u2019s the best thing ever! And I\u2019m not even stoned!\u201d Yours for just $25.00!<\/p>\n

* I know you\u2019ve been wanting to buy Gary Panter<\/span><\/a>, which remains PictureBox\u2019s finest hour, but needed to first purchase a pedestal to hold its 10 pound weight. Now you can, since it\u2019s just $30!!!!!<\/p>\n

* All of these books, not to mention our older, equally remarkable books, like Frank Santoro\u2019s Storeyville<\/a> (just $8.95), Brian Chippendale\u2019s Maggots<\/a> (just $8.00), Cheryl Dunn\u2019s Some Kinda Vocation<\/a> (just $8.00) and Paper Rad\u2019s Cartoon Workshop\/Pig Tales<\/a> (just $6.95) are all on sale.
