For the most part, PsychoGeography is a smart, enjoyable read with intense words and passionate graphics. Self’s stories are usually quite interesting and Steadman’s work is top notch.

Eric Arnold | First Big Crush Print E-mail
Written by Jason Neubauer

book_crush.jpgEric Arnold breaks into the wine community like a circus clown at a garden party. He's your ex-roommate who would make you to stay up too late when you were in college but would intertwine inebriated buffoonery with intelligent conversation into the small hours.

book_isms.jpgManichaeanism. Brownian Motion. Comstockery. Even those with the most impressive (or rather, Brobdingnagian) grasps on the ideologies and beliefs that have shaped society will find more than a few examples such as these to expand their vocabularies in this new reference volume of curiously engrossing and amusing trivia.
