We ain't got no car! #7 Book 256 pages, 1/4 size, paperback (7 oz) $8.00

Jack Saturn is a sometimes jaded, wandering, cynical philosopher transplanted to his new home in Portland, OR. His wanderings lead him to comb countless bins of bargain vinyl, contemplate how to react to a post-9/11 world, and deal with the death of his grandmother. Jack’s writing style and analytical sense carries a strong similarity to Al Burian’s Burn Collector, which is not a bad thing in this case as he succeeds in fully making it his own. The thing about this zine though is that has more resemblance to a book than a zine until you open it up and start reading. You see, it’s over 250 pages and it’s got a thick spine and a nice letterpress cover with artwork from Clutch McBastard. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended for anyone with time for aimless Saturdays spent in the park. Entertaining and inspiring.

 
This is one of my favorite books of all time. Jack is an amazing writer and I was hanging on his every word. His reflections on his life drew me in to a time and place that were never real to me. I know, it may sound like he paid me to write this, but he didn't I don't even know the guy. But it's true, I've seen him around town. ayleen
