Malls Across America

AND AN ALL-AMERICAN SUPERBOOK BONUS THIS

WEEK TOO. MICHAEL GALINSKY'S MALLS ACROSS AMERICA. CURRENTLY NOT

TO BE FOUND IN ANY MALLS ACROSS AMERICA ON THE ACCOUNT OF IT BEING SO INCREDIBLY SCARCE AND

THAT BEING BECAUSE IT IS

SO STUPEFYINGLY GREAT!



Damn, this is an expensive book now. Published in 2013. So extra-unordinarily hard to find now. And all because it is so extra-exceptionally good! 
 


For this pic alone. For everyone anywhere who ever flipflapped those poster racks. It was never just about the poster you wanted - these were the major pop cultural references of the day; a picture-only menu for a restaurant serving up Western Capitalism; Ferrari, Porsche, Pamela Anderson, Herb Ritts, Dire Straits, Guns n Roses.

The LA girls poster far right looks like a good choice. 
 


Oh forever. Tape World! And properly dressed people! Honestly, you look around now and it's like everyone has had a style bypass. This was only 30 to 40 years ago: how quickly people, and hair stylists, forget. Fashion used to be a thing! That guy in the moustache and vest knew it!
 


Just love her and that's all there is to it. 

Smokes Superkings of course (for the extra 25%).
 


Taking a break from filming
The Goonies

Fashion note for 2023: more vests!
 


The best cigarettes are the ones you smoke watching children play. Also note: proper hairstyling, they could bring that back too. 
 


The fab two. 
 


Our hero! He doesn't buy posters of other people's dreams. He is strictly blank canvas. Paint your own heaven. And he has semi-bleached jeans that look a lot like a 
Yoko Ono Imagine Peace sky picture. 

We have two copies Michael Galinsky's
Malls Across America. They are both on the button below. For you. And you.
