More Punk than the Public Library: The Adventures of a Little Free Punk Rock Bookstore in Washingto

By J. Hunter Bennett, Anton Bogomazov (Foreword by) & Jim Spellman (Foreword by)

The DC punk scene meets Little Free Libraries. Hilarious, vibrant, magically drawing cohesion between divergent themes, brimming with endorsements of the best music and books you haven't heard or read yet. J. Hunter Bennett, author of The Prodigal Rogerson and Upside Down Punks, started a little free punk rock bookstore during the pandemic outside his house on a well trafficked corner of Chevy Chase, D.C., and published a companion newsletter. It began as a way to offload his excess music books and noir novels, but swiftly grew into a neighbourhood fixture and underground punk zine for the modern era. Here you'll find book reviews, band interviews, neighbourhood gossip, and praise from at least two members of Fugazi. A touching testament to the DIY spirit, a treasure trove of literary and punk rock recommendations, and a low-key how-to guide for building something unique with your own network of like-minded weirdos. C'mon, where else you gonna find Millions of Dead Cops and James Salter in the same place? This riot of a book is graced with an introduction by Jim Spellman of Velocity Girl and a foreword by Anton Bogomazov of the neighbourhood's more official bookstore, Politics and Prose.
