  Praise for the series:
  It was only a matter of time before a clever publisher realized that 
  there is an audience for whom Exile on Main Street or Electric Ladyland 
  are as significant and worthy of study as The Catcher in the Rye or 
  Middlemarch. . . . The series . . . is freewheeling and eclectic, ranging 
  from minute rock-geek analysis to idiosyncratic personal celebra-
  tion—The New York Times Book Review
  Ideal for the rock geek who thinks liner notes just aren’t enough—
  Rolling Stone
  One of the coolest publishing imprints on the planet—Bookslut
  These are for the insane collectors out there who appreciate fantastic 
  design, well-executed thinking, and things that make your house 
  look cool. Each volume in this series takes a seminal album and 
  breaks it down in startling minutiae. We love these. We are huge 
  nerds—Vice 
  A brilliant series…each one a work of real love—NME (UK)
  Passionate, obsessive, and smart—Nylon
  Religious tracts for the rock ’n’ roll faithful
