Sid Vicious lived the quintessential punk life ndash; fast; furious; out of control and over far too quickly. Twenty-five years after his death; Vicious; perhaps more than any other rock icon; remains a figure of heated debate; a man both loved and loathed; sometimes simultaneously. What is it that continues to fascinate us about this Sex Pistol from south London? In Vicious - The Art Of Dying Young Mark Paytress offers fresh insight into the life and legend that was Sid. Through in-depth interviews with many of Sidrsquo;s contemporaries and close friends; as well as extensive research into the London punk era; Paytress paints a stark but humane portrait of a young man at once cursed and blessed; amazing and pathetic. From his early years in art school in Hackney to his last drug-soaked days in New York; readers get the whole Sid story. And its one you wont soon forget. Mark Paytress is a rock journalist and author of several books; including the definitive biographies on Siouxsie And The Banshees and Marc Bolan. He contributes regularly to MOJO magazine and pop culture-related radio shows. He lives in London.

Best photography marketing book Ive ever read.By Benjamin LeavittI really like this book a lot. and would recommend it to ANYone who is interested in learning more about photography marketing; more specifically. the different types of marketing.Its written by a marketing specialist who works with photographers on marketing their own businesses. As a result. the book doesnt have many pictures. or a very interesting layout. but then again. it is a marketing book. I liked the testimonials given by professional photographers. They were very pertinent to the information provided. and gave the book more depth and application to real-life situations.I would like this book a bit better if I were more interested in marketing. or if it made marketing sound a little more fun. It also wouldnt have hurt to add more photographs and color to the book. Im a visual learner. and I think that may have helped me.
