BookMaster Lynn Bender may look like Charlie Brown's Evil Twin, but you're not very likely to find any Peanuts books here. De Sade, Joel-Peter Witkin, and the officiously transgressive Richard Kern are far more likely fare in Bender's new venture, deep within the recesses of basement of the Bank One building on the Drag. Bender used to run, stock, supply, and generally breastfeed the financially anemic Europa until his break with the store nearly a year ago. Since then, he's opened this impressive subterranean collection of underground academia, everything from The Story of O to Adam Parfey's Feral House rants. Hey, Devilboy, want to find more about Anton LaVey's Church of Satan? Check out the impressive "Diary of a Satanist." Desert is filled with tomes like this and more, making it the best alternative bookstore since, well, the old Europa.
