This review is from: Beer, Blood, and Ashes (Paperback)

Okay, here is a collectible for all lovers of Michael Madsen films or poetry! His first book of poetry, tres rare, first edition. I don't really know poetry that well, but what I have read looks terrific. And this is Mr. Michael Madsen, the actor, folks! Very collectible and hot!!

And he had the taste to do this up right: slick covers, great design, bright white pages.
