It is a great regret of mine that I was never able to visit CBGB in all of its graffitied, gross glory. This book offers some reprieve to that regret and the pictures captured inside are disgustingly captivating. I find myself revisiting it from time to time and pouring over the stickers and band posters that cover the walls, floors, ceilings, toilets, etc... and always being surprised at finding something new.

Easy read. Great photos.

a great photographic record of the greatest club ever. such memories it brings. R.I.P. CBGB you will always be missed. i'm grateful to have been there, both as a performer and a spectator.

This one was my concept/words/design. John Putnam's photographs seal the deal. Check it out if you're a fan of CB's or punk.
