DAVID VOLK swears that all his methods are “legal, moral, ethical, and a heck of a lot of fun” in his Cheap Bastard’s Guide to Seattle (Globe Pequot), a manual for frugal culture mavens. (Pro tip: Volunteer to usher at the Seattle International Film Festival, get free eyefuls of top-notch movies). Meanwhile, Eddie Vedder pens the intro to From a Basement in Seattle: The Poster Art of Brad Klausen (Akashic Books), describing the silk-screen artist as “not insane. Rather a sane man in a world gone mad.”
