Don’t ever sell a record that you won’t be able to afford to buy again until you’re a grown-ass man. Plus, I probably bought a Nitzer Ebb or KMFDM CD with the trade.

What do you do when you release the retail version of your $2500 book about the making of The Shining? Cut the length and width by half, shrink it in size from three volumes to two. (8 pounds instead of 40) and sell it for $100.
