We think it’s long past time America gets rid of the NRA lobby and the politicians they’ve paid off.

OUT OF PRINT
We’ve just unleashed a new edition of IT’S FUN TO BE RICH IN AMERICA by artists Norman Conquest and Michael Leigh. Originally published as an eBook by BOA, this new, perfect-bound paperback edition is packed with full-color collages celebrating the joy of Vulture Capitalism. It’s guaranteed to scrub away the Election Year gloom and delight the 99%. It’ll certainly piss off the 1%, and we think that’s reason enough to own a copy.
Order the book here.
In addition to books on our Scatalog page and six collectible volumes coming in our Absurdist Texts & Documents series, we have these special titles in the pipeline.
THE BEST OF THE CHRISTMAS CATALOGUES. Michael Leigh
Leigh began issuing his handmade, limited edition Xmas catalogues in the U.K. in the late 80s through the 90’s and “into the early Noughties.” Each booklet was approximately 16-pages folded from one A4 double-sided sheet, published in an editions of 100 copies and distributed to family, friends and mail art chums. “They are based on those tacky little brochures that appear at that time of year, particularly to advertise all manner of useless festive crap — gadgets for trimming fluff from jumpers, musical key fobs, big slippers for both feet, etc.” The artist has selected the best of these hilarious items for this special anthology. Just in time for the holidays! [November, 2012]
THE NEGLECTED WORKS OF NORMAN CONQUEST
Fans of Norman Conquest will rejoice at this lavish collection. In addition to many new works published here for the very first time, the volume incorporates two of the artist’s scarce early books—Sartre’s French Phrase Book and Interiors: A Book of Very Clean Rooms. NEGLECTED WORKS will be available as a trade paperback. [October, 2012]
THE COMPLETE UNABRIDGED LEXICON OF OPAL LOUIS NATIONS
Excerpts from Nations’ classic lexicon have appeared over the years in the U.S. and Europe, in small literary magazines and pamphlets. Now for the first time, Black Scat Books will make the entire text available for use by students and scholars–not to mention the master’s millions of followers. This mammoth opus is a seminal reference every family should own. “The final nail in OED’s coffin.”—Derek Pell [January, 2013]
