Framed: The Poster Art of Murder by Death, First Edition, 2015

Tentshow Records, 2015. Very Good. Stated First Edition. Coffee table-sized book is slightly cocked, but pages are tight. The back corners are lightly bumped, and there is very faint shelf wear (see photos). The textblock is clean, with no writing, bookplate, or markings, and is not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Ribbon bookmark. Pictorial endpapers. No dust jacket as issued. 141 pages with index. 12 ¼ x 12 ¼".

A book filled with dazzling, to macabre, to clever concert event posters for Murder by Death - an indie rock and roll band with a little bit of country. The group was formed in 2000 while the members were students at Indiana University. Since then, they have continued to tour, amassing a loyal cult following of fans. And yes, their name is derived from the 1976 Robert Moore/Neil Simon film of the same name. The book introduction is by band member Sarah Balliet, who plays a small, mean cello.
