If you want to be notified when it's released, please sign up for our mailing list, located right above The Ledger. Please do not call, write our email us about it! Once it is in the hands of our trusty printer we will begin taking pre-orders for those of you who want to be the first on your block to get your mits on it. The only way you could get it sooner would to be to help us unload the pallate when it's plopped outside the shop!
Also, the only back issue that is in print is Crap Hound #6: Death, Telephones & Scissors. You can order it here. A copy of Crap Hound No. 5: Hands, Hearts & Eyes is currently up for auction on Ebay. You're on your own if you're looking for the out-of-print and unavailable issues #1-#4.
November 30, 2007: Sad but true -- the only issue of Crap Hound currently in print is Death, Telephones, & Scissors. This is actually the third (and final dammit!) revised and expanded edition. Published by Show & Tell Press in 2007. You can buy it here.
