The Psychic Soviet
Автор: Ian F. Svenonius
Год издания: 0000
Svenonius's two previous books–Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group and Censorship Now!!–are both great, steady, evergreen sellers for Akashic. Supernatural Strategies is in its 4th printing with over 11,000 sales to date.Svenonius will be very involved in the promotion. He is truly an icon in the underground rock world with a devoted cult following. The author also tours nonstop, which will help. In addition to his music touring, we will arrange numerous bookstore appearances. Akashic is very tied into the punk/indie music world and we have had great success in this area, especially with Svenonius. The Psychic Soviet had a limited release by an indie record label, but Akashic's new, expanded edition will have bonus material and proper book distribution that the previous edition didn't have.20 black-and-white illustrations (one at the start of each chapter)

Homo Sovieticus Sexualis. Сборник фантастико-эротических рассказов
Автор: Свет Стремящий
Год издания:
«Человек советский сексуальный» – это сборник фантастических рассказов, которые объединяют две вещи. Во-первых, все истории, без исключения, эротические. Порой они настолько беспощадно откровенные, что не удастся покраснеть даже прожженному цинику. Во-вторых, в выборе стиля изложения, характеров героев, предлагаемых обстоятельств, из самого духа, исходящего со страниц, веет полузабытым запахом материализма. Эта книга – гимн советского человека, совершившего революцию в своей сексуальности.
