If there is a way to get a copy, please let me know. Long-time fan and rock journalist; wrote the book on the MC5’s Kick Out the Jams for Continuum’s 33 1/3 series.
thanks,

Don, If you can’t make it, the best way is to call the store 248-968-1190 and reserve a copy with a credit card and your billing/shipping address. If there are enough copies to process the order we can get it in the mail to you on Monday – we love your book!! have sold a ton of them here.
I can’t find this book for sale anywhere. Where I can find it?

Sorry, the book is now out-of-print, there is a search ongoing for a publisher to do a reprint. We will post it on line when available.
I’m very disappointed that it went out of print before I even knew it was published; I blinked and missed it. I hope they find another publisher.
I see I’m a couple years too late- So, my Grandfather gave me a postcard, in which, moving to Hamtramck, I recently re-discovered. It’s of the MC5 and on the opposite says : “The Book Beat Gallery Presents: Rock And Revolution- The Photography of Leni Sinclair on Exhibit January 12th- March 10th 1999” with an autograph- Which led me here. Are there anymore anything of any kind still happening or any books of any creed available. My seemingly outdated curiosity has now become an ongoing attraction. I had no idea my family being a part of and around history like this has also been around me. Who knows? Perhaps my Granddad’s in photos? Being the 22 year old that I am, I’ve always dismissed it- and yet, here I sit with this postcard eager to see what I can find. Any information is sincerely appreciated! Thank you!
