First Look: The Alinea Book

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Oct 17, 2008 2:00PM

Found this waiting on my doorstep last night. It's the long-awaited Alinea book. And wouldn't you know, it's a monolith. I was literally afraid to touch it for fear that I might have a mindsplosion.

I'll have a review of this 400-page, five-plus pound omnibus as soon as I can. Until then, take a look at some of the pages. These are just the opening pages.
