The book Right, Down + Circle by Cole Nowicki. Cover art is white and black text on a solid blue background in the Swiss international style.
This arrived in the post today. A pocket sized book by @colenowicki.com all about the social impact of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Cole puts out an excellent skate-focussed newsletter called Simple Magic, which is how I discovered his writing.
Thank you for grabbing a copy and the kind words! Much appreciated.

I never get to do BREAKING NEWS, but here's some: B.C. is scrapping the time change, which reams of scientific research and anecdata from exhausted parents can tell you is a good thing. here's an update to my reporting from last year, which now has a more celebratory tone:
Found my way to Tempe after all
