[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought this would just be a physically smaller version of the original Art of Modern Rock, but it has selections from the larger version and new ones. The posters are arranged in alphabetical order by theme (i.e. A is for Anarchy, N is for Nude, S is for Skeleton). There is even a short blurb on how to make your own ghetto silkscreens with very common household materials. The posters are all awesome with contemporary bands from the past 25 years, and the book is small enough to bring anywhere to impress your friends and co-workers alike. Some of the artists include Frank Kozik, Scrojo, Tara McPherson, and Michael Michael Motorcycle.
