Extracts from the book

HEADPRESS GUIDE TO THE COUNTERCULTURE
by Temple Drake & David Kerekes

Says David Kerekes: Published in 2004, I would view this book now as a very important historical record. Many of the publications featured in it may be out of print or have ceased publication, or the contact details are no longer valid. Bear that in mind before dropping your hard earned cash into an envelope and mailing it to Mansplat or whoever. But that's hardly the point: It is the nature of popular culture to be transient, and this book captures some of its essence.
