Apparently I've read Mysteries of Pittsburgh, and I remember absolutely nothing about it. YPU was ok. I've had C&C on my list for a long time, might give it a shot this year.

Been spending way too much on art books lately. Dropped a couple hundred on this Beksinski boxed set, but it was worth the price.

I just went to the website for the book and saw he's doing an event in Brooklyn tonight with Books Are Magic. Which I love. I might have to go grab a copy. I love his stuff.

Did you get an advance copy?
