An excellent document of a time long-gone, "Sniffin' Glue: The Essential Punk Accessory" takes you back to the days of attitude, spit and projectile pint glasses. In existence for a mere 12 months, the UK fanzine "Sniffin' Glue" rose from humble beginnings (an initial print run numbering just a meager 50 copies) to a circulation into the thousands, just by the third issue. Of course, Mark Perry, S.G.'s creator, urged readers to tear their copies to shreds in reaction to this sudden success. I assume they didn't, and now we've got this handsome and distinguished volume, which is a welcome addition to any self-loathing punk's bookshelf. They're all here, from well-knowns like the Clash, the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, to more obscure but equally excellent bands like Eater and the Adverts. Even the layout and design of the book is spot on: the front half is chock-full of glossy pix of the bands and informative texts to go with them, and the back half is every single issue of the zine, printed authentically on smelly newsprint-ish paper. All in all, this is a gloriously raw and authentic trip back to punk's heyday, and one of the better punk books to come along in a while.

Original art for the Alternative TV album ''Apollo' from 1998. Mark Perry asked me to do it like an old comic book and I shamelessly tried to copy Mike Allred ( sorry Mike ). #punk #punkrock #alternativetv #markp #markperry #london #rocknroll #mikeallred #rufusdayglo #comicbooks #comics #cosplay #apollo #space #nasa

There's no way this painting by Mark Perry won't someday come to rest in a fine museum. Look at it! It's 100 times bigger than my head! Incredible work! #hamptons #markperry #easthampton

I was stunned by the spectacular beauty of the artist Mark Perry during a studio tour of his East Hampton studio. Wow!! #hamptons #easthampton #art #markperry
