today's new aquisitions from 'I groaned with pain...' now up at http://ift.tt/19gL9TO


#skinhead girl. on today's list with a lot of other loutish books


#geodesic domery and #ettoresottsass on today's list


The Dome Cookbook


Unaccountably scarce. Included in the MoMa exhibition Access to Tools. Baer was one of the originl Drop City builders and his DIY geodesic publication was part of the inspiration for the first ever Whole Earth Catalog. One of the first and most important 'whole system' publications, almost imposstible to find in any printing.

Alan Mead Skinhead Girl


One of the most desirable, and rare youth culture books to exist. Self published in 1988 in an edition of 500 copies, Mead's account and study of Skinhead girls succeeds in a way that only an account from the inside could. The text is about as frank an account of skinhead like as could exist, with all the good, and equally terrible bits. But the images! Page after page of ladybirds, crops, tassle loafers, DM's, MA1's and the rest, all submitted by Skin girls from around the world. A triumph of underground publishing.

The London Book


Absolutely stellar guide to the 80's underground in London, with a lot of great colour photographs. Includes World's End, Westwood and MClaren, Anton Corbijn, Derek Jarman, Bowie, the 100 Club, Gossips (the batcave on monday night I think), The Electric Ballroom, a bit of street fashion and sections on Sex, Fashion, Food, Art, Record shops and so on. Very great, and very hard to find.

Domebook One


A legend. Page after page of Geodesic geometry in theory and practice with tons of images, texts and diagrams. A brilliant DIY architectural project.
