BOOKS
| SKINS AND PUNKS |
 What started off as a small collection of photographs the 14-year-old Gavin Watson would take of his family and friends in Wycombe, middle England, in the 1970s and 80s, would grow into one of the most important and influential photographic youth culture books of the last 20 years. Skins, published in 1994 and hailed by The Times of London as "a modern classic," has shown its influence in such photographers as Terry Richardson, Juergen Teller, and Ryan McGinley, as well as pretty much every kind of "youth" photography popular today. Last year, having persuaded him to begin working again after a long period of self-seclusion, VICE Books was bequeathed Watson’s lost archives, hundreds of photos reaching deep into the lives of the subjects of his first book. Each photograph reveals an understanding and sensitivity that belies the sometimes brutal subject matter. Skins & Punks is a singular retrospective complete with commentaries and oral histories. The stories behind the shots are shocking, hilarious, severe, and heartbreaking, and each gets behind what it was really like to be a rebellious working-class youth growing up in the 1980s. This is documentary photography at its best, a stunningly intimate window into a cultural movement.

| TRUE NORWEGIAN DEATH METAL |
 Stemming from horror movies, heavy metal music, Satanism, Paganism and angst, Norway's black metal began as a frenzied youth culture. In the last 20 years, murder, arson and desecration have propelled their war on Christianity, and rejection of mainstream society. Photographer Peter Beste spent the past eight years documenting the movement. His unprecedented work is displayed in this book.

| THE VICE PHOTO BOOK |
 VICE Magazine's irreverence and determination not to kowtow to advertisers has led to an aesthetic that began simply as unique but has grown into a culture that has defined an entire epoch of underground photography. This eye-popping anthology beautifully illustrates the best of recent alternative photography from around the world. These copies are from the limited-edition first run of this must-have book.

| SKINEMA |
 Skinema is a brutally hilarious collection of rants and reminiscences written under the guise of porn reviews by the popular Vice Magazine columnist. 10 years ago Chris Nieratko was getting drunk with pals from the seminal skateboard magazine Big Brother and writing whatever came to his wasted head. When he became the editor of the magazine, they all started a now infamous group of idiots called Jackass. Chris ate eggs until he puked for the show, but his love of pills and sleeping lent itself more to the literary world. When Vice said they needed porn reviews, Chris obliged by sticking the names of porn videos above various stories about his life. The review for Liquid Gold #2 begins, “My mom could single-handedly save my town from flooding if ever the occasion arose. She once worked at the United States’ largest producer of maxi-pads and before being laid off, stockpiled truckloads of the stuff.” He proceeds to mention the porn he is reviewing approximately zero times.
The pieces ultimately form an anarchic memoir of sex, drugs, failed romantic encounters with pornstars, mean-spirited antics and the ultimate show-stopper: marriage.

| SDRR |
 What started out as a few Montreal drug addicts scamming welfare make-work programs back in 1994 has become a global empire of hedonism known simply as VICE. From a 16-page newspaper about punk bands and violence to stores, a clothing line, VICE Films, VICE TV, VICE Records, viceland.com, etc., VICE has become much more than a way for three guys to get laid. It's become a lifestyle of sex and drugs and rock and roll and death. This book is a collection of the irreverent, hilarious and downright scarygonzo journalism that brought three losers from the crack houses of Le Plateau to the deluxe apartments of Manhattan.

| HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD DVD |
 Heavy Metal in Baghdad is a documentary feature film that follows the Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda (Latin for a deadly black scorpion native to Iraq) from the fall of Saddam Hussein to their escape from Iraq. The band members - Firas (bass), Tony (lead guitar), Marwan (drums) and Faisal (lead vocals and rhythm guitar) - were bred on American heavy metal albums, learning to speak English by listening to Slayer, Metallica and Slipknot. Playing heavy metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible) proposition, but, after Saddam s regime was toppled, there was a brief moment for the band in which real freedom seemed possible. That hope was quickly dashed as their country fell into a bloody insurgency. Bonus Features include: 45 Minute Featurette: HEAVY METAL IN ISTANBUL - the documentary that picks up where Heavy Metal in Baghdad left off 7 Additional & Deleted Scenes: 30 minutes of extra content including extended interviews with the band plus a meeting with the Iraqi Godfather in Syria 3 Live Performances: Acrassicauda Live! - Original Acrassicauda songs Underworld;King Without A Throne; Message From Baghdad performed in 2006 & 2008 8 Page Booklet: including the original Vice magazine article No War For Heavy Metal Theatrical Trailer
