More Crumb specials

On top of our special two-week, online offer on the great Robert Crumb, Kevin tells me today that the R Crumb Handbook will be available in your local FPI branch this week. It is an amazing journey through the life and art of the foremost cartoonist of the last forty years, from a 60s counter-culture figure to a legend discussed by serious art critics - and still popular with the counter-culture of several generations.

The Handbook offers a glimpse into Crumb’s art and outlook on life and society; how that society and culture influenced his work and how he in turn influenced culture and society.




The book comes with a CD featuring ‘Crumb music’ (I know purists will say Crumb music should come on a 78RPM disc in a brown wrapper, but hey) which also includes a live performance by Crumb, Aline and Sophie and even a free bookmark. Our branches are offering you this excellent slice of Crumb for a mere £9.99.
