A package arrived today from Amazon. It is a book about 'The amazing career of an imaginary soul superstar'. It is a very interesting story, profusely illustrated with the art work of Mingering Mike.
The notes on the back of the book give some idea of the story : ... "One cold December morning, Dori Hadar - DJ by night, criminal investigator by day - was digging through crates of records at a Washington,D.C., flea market. There he unknowingly stumbled on the world of Mingering Mike - a soul superstar of the 1960s and 1970s who released an astonishing fifty albums and at least as many singles in just ten years. But Hadar had never heard of him, and he realized why on closer inspection: every album in the crate - as well as the records themselves - were made of cardboard." ...
This is a real treasure of a book.
