Raymond Pettibon and the edition were featured in an article in the L.A. Times, entitled "Book as art medium: Here's a new chapter" in which Joyce Ludmer of the Getty Research Institute was quoted as saying, "(Faster, Jim) reflects something going on in our society right now." The Getty has purchased the book.

The theme is travel.  As you turn the pages you will go from land to sea to space to air, and back down to Earth. The pages are linked consecutively. To return to a previous page, use your back button, or at any time you may choose another link from the banner at the top of the page.  We hope you will travel all the way through the 29 pages to home plate, and a new beginning.
