The TISM Guide to Little Aesthetics: Based on the Works of This Is Serious Mum.
Melbourne, AUS: Stock, Aristotle and Waterman, 1989. First Edition. Softcover. Octavo. 244pp., b&w illustrations, appendix. Round sticker on upper cover: "Censored due to Legal Advise" An extremely scarce book of essays, lyrics, artworks, press releases, interviews and a discography of the anarchic and subversive Australian band TISM (an acronym of This Is Serious Mum). The book was apparently banned (withdrawn from circulation?) on legal advice after two of the people named in it or their representatives threatened to sue. A small number of copies were subsequently released with the "Censored" sticker on the front cover and the offending names blacked out by hand. Covers a bit rubbed, edges chafed and lightly bumped, a few names blacked out (as issued), otherwise internally clean and unmarked. Overall a tight, unmarked VG+ copy. Item #62295
