Hot off the Press: Tom Waits “True Confessions” Chapbooks
Written on June 17, 2008 by ashley
We recently had the pleasure of printing these dapper “True Confessions” chapbooks for legendary balladeer and musical iconoclast Tom Waits. Designed by X-Ray Book Company’s Johnny Brewton—also known for his design of Waits’ Orphans 3-CD box set as well as publishing projects for Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Billy Childish—these 20-page + cover pocket-sized booklets feature Tom Waits in conversation with none other them himself, in a charming self-interview that asks of Waits everything from “What are some unusual things that have been left behind in a cloakroom?” to “What’s wrong with the world?”.
Flaunting sturdy chipboard covers and French Dur-o-tone Newsprint interiors, the booklets were printed in an edition of 5,000 copies and will be available at venues around the globe as part of Waits’ upcoming Glitter and Doom Tour. Check out this site for tour dates!
