Second Hand Love by Yamada Murasaki

$ 24.95

Softcover, 228 pages, black and white. Measures 6.1 x 8.4 inches.

In the end, we’re all the same…we just want to be smothered like babies against another human’s beating heart

Through a cracked door, heartsick Emi hears a playful growl. Cautiously, she lets her lover in—a wolf of a man wielding a bouquet of roses. His shoulders must have been four inches wider than mine. As I stood behind him, I fantasized about the broadness of his chest and the thickness of his neck…and about becoming his mistress once again.

And so their story goes. For a young woman interested in love without the hassle of a traditional relationship, an affair with someone else’s spoiled husband is just what she ordered—until it’s time to move on.

Then there’s Yuko: with even less time for married men’s shenanigans, she turns her attention to her aging father and the guilt of adultery that has gnawed at his heart for years. Her mother is long dead, yet her memory is enshrined for eternity in their—both father’s and daughter’s—mirrored indiscretions.

Drawn soon after the critically-acclaimed Talk to My Back, the two stories in Second Hand Love mark the triumphant return of Yamada Murasaki, one of literary manga’s most respected feminist voices. Translated by noted historian Ryan Holmberg, this edition includes an interview with the artist from the height of her career in 1985, where her wit and wisdom are on shimmering display.

Soft cover, 512 pages. 

A GIANT 512-page collection of Katsuya Terada’s RAKUGAKI sketches and illustrations.

The one and only legendary illustrator Katsuya Terada, a.k.a. RAKUGAKING (The Sketch King), well known as a pioneer who is always seeking new ideas and motifs for his drawings, has finally revealed his RAKUGAKI sketches and illustrations, long kept only in his sketch book.

Although most illustrations in this collection have appeared in Terada’s previous international exhibitions (e.g., Giant Robot in Los Angeles), never before has any book collected so many of his RAKUGAKI. This is the best and most comprehensive collection of Katsuya Terada’s pencil sketches, making it a must-have book for both his hardcore fans and also to illustrators in general.

Stubs: 2001-2010 by John Jaewon Kim

$ 10.00

Paperback, 56 pages, measures 5 x 8 inches. Edition of 100.

Uncovering a personal stash of collected ephemera can unleash a torrent of once-held ideals, longstanding hang-ups, and misdirected pursuits. In Stubs: 2001–2010, John Kim tackles head-on a stack of old concert ticket stubs spanning a decade. Each story revisits a stub, and his indie-rock-snob perspectives—at times self-deprecating, more often comedically judgmental—are punctuated with unabashed fanboy regard for pop acts and romantic interests alike.

With a backdrop of post-grad and early career pressures and relationships, the volubly recounted backstories and recollections of specific shows, from disappointment distilled (Modest Mouse at the Wiltern, 2005) to the acoustically sublime (The Breeders at the Fillmore, 2002), demonstrate how fandom and obsessions ease, or at least mark, transitions and time.
