i finally managed to twist my publisher's arm enough to where they've agreed to run 250 copies of this next disposable: a history of skateboard art printing as a hardcover edition. essentially it's the same book, just with the benefit of a hardcover wrapping the guts. so if you missed out on the first limited hardcover edition (the "black" one, 1000 copies; 2005), here's another chance. not sure what the retail price is on it yet, but it looks to be in stock sometime around late december...
