Soft Skull
Soft Skull Press (mentioned below) is the subject of a documentary, Horns and Halos, which I discussed briefly on my personal blog last June.
The documentary chronicles what had been Soft Skull's most famous title: Fortunate Son, the quite unauthorized G.W. Bush bio that alleged a former cocaine rap but was pulled off shelves (and republished by Soft Skull) when unsavory details emerged regarding the author's own criminal history.

I'm thinkin' it oughta be "Numbskull Press".
I think their real name sums up their soft-headed outlook nicely enough.
I thought it was great....surely there are still copies of 'Fortunate Son' still available....?

what a great doco. unfortunatly we will never know the truth about G. W. Bush, except for the fact he is complete morron and is indeed a very powerful man. Only in America !
where else in the world would it be possible for bush to be in control of that sort of power, I think bottswana has nailed it, only in America !
