PictureBox, publisher of gorgeous art books, is having a monster sale that lasts until February 8. For instance, you can get this giant Gary Panter book for $30 dollars, marked down from $95.

An intimate look at the work and life of a legendary artist. Gary Panter has been one of the most influential figures in visual culture sincethe mid-1970s. From his era-defining punk graphics to his cartoon icon Jimbo to his visionary design for Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, he has left his mark on every medium he’s touched. Working in close collaboration with the artist, PictureBox has assembled the definitive volume on Panter’s work from the early 1970s to the present. This monumental, slipcased set is split into two 350-page volumes. The first is a comprehensive monograph featuring over 700 images of paintings, drawings, sculptures, posters and comics, alongside essays by Robert Storr, Mike Kelley, Richard Klein, Richard Gehr, Karrie Jacobs and Byron Coley, as well a substantial commentary by the artist himself. The second volume features a selection from Panter’s sketchbooks–the site of some of his most audacious work–most of which has never been published in any form.

I've been wanting that Gary Panter book for a long time. I just went to purchase it and found that they wanted a whopping $26 to ship it from New York to Los Angeles. Still a decent deal for the book, but it's against my principles to pay that much for shipping.

jeeez! $30 +$26 is still only $56 for The Gary Panter Book, what I think is the best comics/art book of 2008, half the normal price and still less than Amazon, and the book is HUGE , two heavy volumes in a slipcase! you order something heavy online, you gonna pay shipping...
anyhoo

I reviewed the book for HEEB, and its just astonishing and magical...

Well, there goes $100... Thanks Mark ;P

So much good stuff there, and I'm still trying to decide whether I should drop $25 more for The Ganzfeld 7, and now I see this Panter collection..

Okay, it's done. That's three separate boxes, I can't go back in, no one make any more recommendations, gahhhh.... :gurgle: :choke: :collapse:
