Want to get a sneak peek of our latest title, Art Space Tokyo? It's not officially in bookstores until September, but it's already creating a buzz in Tokyo, and rumor has it that Roland Kelts, who will be speaking at the Brooklyn Museum's Envisioning Japan event this Saturday, just may have a brand new copy of the book with him.

Roland's essay on Takashi Murakami is not to be missed. Also, this is the fifth book Craig Mod has designed for Chin Music Press, and I believe his goal of creating a literary object may have finally been realized to his satisfaction (he's a tough guy to please). The book is a gem, with extraordinary insight into Tokyo's contemporary art scene, so go have a look at the Brooklyn Museum this Saturday.

Of course, the book is available over our website, and pre-orders are going out this week and early next week (if you're in Tokyo, don't miss the party), but if you like to leaf through a book before buying, you'll have to wait until it appears in bookstores in Tokyo this May and in the US this late summer or go find Roland at the Brooklyn Museum this Saturday.

Roland, many of you will remember, is author of Japanamerica, a fascinating look at the transpacific mobius strip formed around Japanese pop culture, and contributor to the book that started us on this crazy venture, Kuhaku & Other Accounts from Japan.
