Outposts: A Catalog of Rare And Disturbing Alternative Information

Summary: Still Relevent in 2004
Review: I have purchased a total of five copies of this book over the years. Everytime I let it out of my hands it never returned. I always wished for an updated and revised version but now I see that it's out-of -print which is a shame because even though the internet has given us a wealth of information on everything sometimes you just don't know what to look for. Simply put this book made me interested in things I never knew I was interested in. Even today it is still the perfect leaping point into the strange and alternative. And NOT for the faint. The alternative sex section really does give you information on books and such dealing with alternative sex and I'm talking Law & Order:SVU stuff. THere was even a book written that should become the Roman Catholics church "unofficial Bible." Disturbing but facinating. I've actually read this thing cover to cover like a novel.

Summary: amazing source for "out-of-bound"/subversive information
Review: its an incredible resource guide for people looking for almost any kind of fringe information. i always thought i was pretty much ahead of the curve when it came to hidden or bizarre material, but i grossly overestimated my breadth of knowledge after reading Outposts. everything from sex art fringe politics drugs--its not only a great sourcebook but many of the publishers listed have EVEN more great books...amazing

Summary: Great Catalogue
Review: This is a great catalogue for those seeking info not accessible by the normal public, like how to be your own mortician.
