It was great to see Marcel Stol, the co-author alongside Henk Wentink of the brilliant punk rock book 'Goudvishal', at the International Institute of Social History yesterday, where he donated 95% of the Goudvishal posters to the IISG archive in Amsterdam.

Frank stopped by to pick them up and Marcel included the last copy of the hardback version of the Goudvishal book with the package a there's a new paperback version out.

We've taken delivery of more copies of the new paperback of this great book and have the covers looking great now, but are still working on a few issues with the printers to improve the internal printing and trim. Most people would say these copies are good enough for a 'punk' book, but we want it to be perfect so will keep on it.
