Publisher's Description
Edition of 1000 copies, each handcrafted with a Smyth sewn binding.
The first monograph from award-winning filmmaker Jason Tippet, Heading to Bill's for Cigarettes is a beautiful collection of 35mm, documentary-style photographs and a chronicle of the mundane absurdities that make Atwater Village in East Los Angeles both totally charming and utterly bizarre.
Those who know, know: Atwater was the L.A. haunt of the Beastie Boys back in the day and the home of G-Son Studios, as well as where they met resident turned long-time collaborator Money Mark, who provided the introduction to this very book.
