NEW ARRIVALS: Crispin Glover

I remember first seeing Rat Catching and Oak Mot back in my youth at Printed Matter. At the time the media considered the two books as further proof of Glover's insanity. Of course the real shock was that a celebrity was self-publishing artists books well within the tradition of Max Ernst, and Tom Phillips' A Humument. And that they were good.
