  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 signiﬁ cant 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 celebration — 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)
