    The OG title was "Dope Label Jawns", but the publisher didn't understand it.

    That title is how you know it's a serious book. Old crusty dudes are runnin' schitt.

    Yep, these dudes are definitely crusty and definitely running things.

    Can't wait to check this book out! 45s with cool labels are kind of an obsession of mine, and will probably get way worse after I see this!

    A couple faves:







    Will post more later

    That "survey" business isn't even the real title - it's just a blurb on the cover - so I don't think the "crust" contigent is a consideration. When people refer to the book after it's been out a while, they're likely going to say See Label For Contents and leave it at that.

    Blurb? It's the subtitle, Jack.

    The way it's laid out on the cover (see link above), it LOOKS like a blurb, since they set it off to the side. At any rate...

    What of the book's spine? I bet it's laid out exactly like a subtitle there.

    You dudes are arguing over a book that hasn't even been made yet.

    Really? I thought it was already released but out of print. Is it just available for pre-sale then?

    When's the release date for this sucker?

    My money "got returned" (aka my credit card didn't get charged) from the place that I had reserved a copy, and that happened in December. Get the feeling it's really not going as planned.
