¡WOW! Goes Like This is a book lover's delight. The printing, the design, the production, and, of course, the work itself all come together to generate a uniquely satisfying finished product.  Collecting Jordan Crane's comics and prints from the last twenty years, this one-of-a-kind volume features – unusually – an exposed spine, in which all the sewn-signatures are then in turn joined and sewn across the spine (we counted an even dozen horizontal stitches) and rubber cemented for a kind of industrial strength stab-binding. This binding enables the book to fully open, allowing the pages to lie flat, and also to be strong enough to endure the many readings it is likely to endure without the pages coming loose.  Then, there's the a mix of paper stocks:  starting with the heavy-duty glossy stock of the covers (which is then spot glossed like nobody's business) – which we find again, interspersed occasionally throughout; then there's a mix of standard glossy stock; heavy flat, off-white; and even, thin, fragile newsprint.  Each stock matched to the material for best effect. 

And what material!  This volume's large size – 8 1/2" x 11 1/2" – and super crisp printing throughout its 192 pages together well serve to showcase a dozen classic tales that originally appeared in Jordan's one-man series, Uptight, as well as Kramers Ergot and elsewhere, along with fifty of the fabulous prints for which he is justly renowned. A true feast for the senses!

We've posted a hefty gallery of spreads (along with a peek at the spine stitching) up on the Copacetic Tumblr, HERE –  but this only barely gives you an idea of the glory awaiting).

Don't miss this one!
