I like how the synopsis still implies that Everett True is the author

excellent... everett true. havent read anything by him in awhile...

I attempted to order this, but the bookshop cancelled my order almost immediately on the grounds that the book is out of print.

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Psychic Confusion inititally was supposed to have been written by Everett
True. He announced it on his blog at Plan B, even. And that book cover
has been around awhile. Apparently, however, True abandoned the project. Enter Stevie Chick.

You're welcome.

Regardless of the author, I hope this book is worthy of its subject.

sonicl 03.03.2008 03:46 PM

I have my doubts as whether the book will ever appear. The author says it's publication date is today, yet there is no mention at all of it on the publisher's website: http://www.omnibuspress.com/.

sonicl 03.04.2008 03:09 AM

The book's had about six "confirmed" publication dates in the last two years, with pre-order available from various sites each time. I've got too excited too many times to get excited about it again.

Is it out or not? I can't seem to find proof that it's officially available.

stevietonychick 03.06.2008 11:07 AM

hello there,

just a quick note to say that the book was published monday, and that i'm going to get in touch with the publishers about the troubles you're having getting hold of it.

everett was supposed to be working on the book, but when he realised he wouldn't have time to do it justice, he passed the project on to me which, as a Sonic Youth devotee for many years, I jumped at. thanks for the kind words, and I hope you all enjoy the book.

the amazon page has the old cover; this is what it actually looks like now:
 


i am indeed a proud peanuts fan, and highly recommend David Michaelis's Schulz & Peanuts biography. do buy Psychic Confusion first, though.

Thanks, Stevie

Psychic Confusion reviewed in the new issue of Mojo

Really? Interesting... hopefully I've been too quick to claim its non-existence.
