Jeff Johnson - TATTOO MACHINE: Tall Tales, True Stories, My Life in Ink
Jeff Johnson has been tattooing professionally for eighteen years and is the co-owner of the Sea Tramp Tattoo Company, the oldest tattoo shop in Portland, Oregon. This is his first book.
Johnson is a natural-born storyteller. “He writes like he’s not afraid to get arrested” as one reviewer told me, and in advance praise the book been called “an amazing firsthand account,” “savagely funny…a tale of up-from-under redemption through the shadowed art of personal symbolism [by] an extraordinary writer.” What Kitchen Confidential did for the restaurant world, Johnson and TATTOO MACHINE do for tattooing. I hope you can take a look and consider covering it or Jeff. Jeff Johnson will be in LA for an event at Borders in Hollywood on Tuesday, July 21st

Recording artist, Candi-Lynn
Recording artist, Candi-Lynn, feels young girls are growing up too fast in today’s society. At 21, her debut album, ILLMissBehavin, contains positive messages for young women. Her first single, “Hey Gurl” sends the message you can be sexy without being promiscuous. Candi-Lynn’s mother had her at the age of 15, and Candi experienced first hand how hard it was for her mother trying to raise her alone at such a young age.

Rod Pyle - "Missions to the Moon"
Missions to the Moon traces our quest to explore this final frontier, starting with the deadly development of German V1s and V2s in the Second World War, through the pioneering adventures of the Apollo moon-landing program, and culminating in the future of lunar exploration with the recent missions by China, Japan, and Europe. Through 150 stunning photographs and 20 beautifully recreated rare facsimile documents that almost make you feel like part of the crew, we witness the lethal Apollo 1 fire; celebrate the success of Apollo 8, the first manned spacecraft to orbit a celestial body; marvel at Apollo 11 and the first man to land on the moon; and share the dangers endured by the astronauts aboard the ill-fated Apollo 13.
These are events the whole word watched in rapt attention.
