"McSweeney's "Issue 24" wrapped in a mysterious twilight blue cloth cover and an amazing Z-binding which contains a special section on Donald Barthelme, including remembrances from Ann Beattie, David Gates, and Oscar Hijuelos, and some of Barthelme's barely published and never-collected early work. As with all McSweeney' publications so far, "issue 24" is intimate in a tactile way that objects rare..."
McSweeney's Quarterly Concern
1 recommendation
"It feels like Christmas every time an issue of McSweeney's arrives in the mail. And even better, it's a Christmas where you haven't ripped tiny holes in your presents to figure out what's inside, so you have no idea what you're getting. Truly inspirational and exciting, like finding a small Ed Ruscha print at the bottom of your Cornflakes."

There are many versions, loopholes, etc. That problem is now solved due to a little site called McSweeny's. This is the place to go for the best satire you'll ever read. Seriously...check it out - it's amazing (and you'll never argue over shotgun again)."

McSweeney's - McSweeney's Quarterly Concern
1 recommendation
"Let's take it back to the basement. Or in this case a tiny little shared office in San Francisco back in 1998. For it was there, way back in the day, where the first Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern was published. Proving that magazines didn't have to be thin, glossy and be packed full of pictures to be interesting. These are the first three issues, exactly as originally published, w..."

McSweeney's - Arboretum
1 recommendation
"It's an eclectic blend of faux science, automatic writing, satire, and an attempt to find connections where none were thought to exist,a sort of self-therapy, allowing the hand to say what the voice cannot."

Hold Still T-Shirt ~ Marcel Dzama

"As they say on Mc Sweeneys "Marcel Dzama is an artist from Winnipeg, Canada who has changed everything we know about art involving alligators and men in bear costumes holding guns."

Glass Eye Book Set
1 recommendation
"826 Valencia in San Francisco always has delightful, if thoroughly useless, curios and curiosities for sale. This "Glass Eye" book set combines clever and humorous packaging with, yes, a glass eye available in a number of colors and a "wee" book that tells the story of "your glass eye's multiple and sundry prosthetic cousins." Absolutely useless, but a hell of a conversation piece."
