 I got it at Wal-Mart.  It's not quite as good as TIMELINE was.

 If anyone is interested in the London punk scene during it's infancy, the book I just finished is good......it's also a "must read" for any Shane MacGowan/Pogues fans.

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard it was HUGE, like 75 pounds and takes up a whole table.  Each copy is autographed by Ali and the author.  There's no way I missed it at Virgin if it was there, but somebody has to be displaying it somewhere, right?

Been reading "The clash: return of the last gang in town" by Marcus Gray. It's an updated edition of the earlier (95 or 96) "The last gang in town: the story of the clash." It's very very detailed, & sometimes tedious. About a 100 pages to go.

"The Amiable Baltimoreans" by Beirne
 
 It is a history of Baltimore City from 1952.  Has some classic lines in it:
 
 More recently the "Sea Urchin" has assumed the nature of guardian of the city's wishing well.  It has become the custom to make wishes and then toss coins into the fountain.  The wishes at least benefit the human Baltimore urchins who fish out the coins.
 
 From ints entry into the city limits near Mt. Washington all the way to Mt. Royal Avenue, Jones falls is little better than an unsightly open swer.  It has often been described as Baltimore's Cloaca Maxima.
