Book Review - California Coastal Access Guide

A quote from Kirk's blog

First things first: I've got two books due to be published this year. The main one that takes up most of my waking hours is for my favorite local publisher: Heyday in Berkeley. The second is a small artisinal project for some like-minded intertidal enthusiasts who also happen to double as professional printers. These guys contacted me after taking one of my tours and told me they were deep into the lost arts of making books. They wondered if I'd be interested in writing a book for them. At first I was skeptical, but then I went out to their warehouse space at American Steel (after delivering fish there) and could not believe what I saw. These guys have a friggin' type smelter! (and I thought a smelter was person who catches smelt). Get this: they cast their own type out of molten led. They also own an old 19th century printing press. There are only like 3 people on earth who know how to operate it! In any case I wrote them a short piece called: "Me Myself And The Monkeyface Eel" which is a sort of humorous, absurdist study of my life in eeldom (a la Flann O'brien and V. Nabokov). Then I got my dear friend Leighton Kelly (seriously, click the link and watch all the episodes, Leighton is Brick Rockson) to do the woodblock prints. And voila! It's done!

When I read this a month or so ago I was looking forward to it, but then forgot about it, sadly at $350, I'll never see it.

Woah...  That's a bit much for me as well.  Lets get 35 guys to go in 10$ and we can just pass it around.
