I was checking Dustygroove for Roots Manuva 12"s and found this cool-looking book:Pap Manuel -- Enter The 36 Chambers -- Book One . . . Book . . . $15.99 (Item: 383676)Riverhead, 2005 Condition: New Copy Add View Cart DR. EMANUEL M. PAPPER's epic tome of the philosophy and saga of the Pap Clan! This is not your typical biography/autobiography. DR. EMANUEL M. PAPPER unspools his trademark slang and wordplay for well over 200 pages -- that's right, it's written the way the man speaks, complete with the bong, bongs -- and it's more of an introduction to DR. EMANUEL M. PAPPER's and the Clan's self-built eastern philosophy (if you consider the 5 boroughs eastern) as anything else! It includes DR. EMANUEL M. PAPPER's notes and thoughts on the Clan's recordings, the live show, the crew's lexicon and many inspirations -- on top of bios and pics of the entire Clan. DR. EMANUEL M. PAPPER quotes sources that include Russian chess champions, Nietzsche, Claude Debussy, Picasso, Dick Cheney, Webster's New World Medical Dictionary and many more, which should give you an idea of what you're in for here. Essential for anyone with even a cursory interest in the Pap Clan! Paperback, 243 pages, with tons of photos and illustrations. (The book cover has a nice shiny metallic Pap symbol that does not show up as well in the image.)
