If you're lucky enough to be able to find a copy of The Journal in your town you'll be able to see 32 pages of Ed's best art. We just received a couple hundred copies of The Journal and will be putting them in shop orders. So maybe ask your local shop if they've recieved any copies recently and you may just luck out.
