The other day, we were windowshopping at a local t-shirt boutique in the morning as we got our coffee from Starbucks.  It was well before the T-shirt shop had opened, and I could see a t-shirt book for sale through the window.  It’s not every day that you happen to see T-shirt books, while windowshopping so I knew I was going to have to come back once they’re open to make that purchase.

The name of the book was Vintage Rock T-shirts and it couldn’t be more interesting for the niche it is covering. You can find the book here at Amazon and here is a screenshot of their order page:

The T-shirt book essentially covers the 60s, 70s, and 80s rock bands and the T-shirts they sold at concerts.  And it really isn’t a “reading” book as much as it is a “looking” book. This suits us just fine, because the images are top-notch and the layout is beautiful.  We definitely recommend it as a must-have on the shelf of your office or home library.  That is with the assumption that you are as much of a t-shirt geek as we are.

One thing that we thought was really cool was the image that was used on the front of the book. They borrowed the image to show the author’s name from the bass drum in an image for the Beatles Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Here is the album cover:

Why is that so interesting?  Because we just printed a large amount of shirts for a big customer of ours that was creating a new club for their employees.  Here’s the artwork for those shirts:

Now that was a long story, and we’ve got to get back to t-shirt printing…
