I was a sucker and bought both of these; they were fun, but pricey and part of money wondered if I should have spent the money on 'em. But I agree that "Extraordinary Works of" was the better book. Kinda silly that they both have "Extraordinary" in the title. I did dig the pinups, though, being the kind who likes that sorta stuff. I am a huge Moore fan, though, so in the end I don't hate myself for buying 'em both. 
I didn't buy KIMOTA!, however, just read most of it in the store. It didn't have enough to entice me to buy it.
The essay (I forget which books it's in - "Portrait", I think) by one of his daughters, talking about life with dad, is pretty funny though. On her first day of school, The Great Hairy One tells her not to answer her teacher politely and say "Yes, Ma'am" but instead to say "Jam-it, bitch!" Is that like "Suck it" in Britspeak? And the Moore daughters like to make fun of dad's mystical stuff, putting a silly hat on the authentic skull of an ancient monk Moore keeps in his living room, singing made-up songs that parody his magickal interests (i.e. "Scrying oo-ver yoouuuu...") and such. Cute stuff. |
