April 28 is the tentative date for release of Marginal Notes by Jay Thiemeyer. Isreal Bayer, organizer and writer for the North American Street Newspaper Association says, “Marginal Notes is like a jackknifed truck coming at you with ten tons of steel. You won’t find a more raw observation of the streets than this. A clear view of the insanity that grips hundreds of thousands of people on a daily basis in America.” Stay tuned!
