Encyclopedia Gothica, from Toronto writer and alternative music expert Liisa Ladouceur, is, well, an encyclopaedia. It's a cute-looking hardcover--even if the cover should have been grey instead of beige! Still, there are smudge marks on that pale brown, a decorative curlicue surrounding the title--said illustration featuring a skull and a bat--and the paper is ragged-edged. What's not to love?
