Tales about "conflict". Many types of tales: beautiful, deep, light, superficial, those that make us furious, those that make us cry. We can find lines that create anxiety, agreement, sadness, bitterness and all kinds of feelings in this 332 page dentist consultation. And each reader will probably feel this in different moments and ways and for different reasons. That's why we are grateful to this consultation for showing the contradictions of this "holy" and "fucking" conflict from different points of view.

After the Durango fair hangover, book stores are full of books. There are many choices at the beginning of the year. We chose a special work by a "classic" author in our literature just because it is not a book that was born to be one of the "pillars in Basque literature". Sarrionandia is back with a dark and special narration that David Lynch would gladly arrange. This tale tells us about how we need to get out of our minds in order to understand ourselves and about the society that we are building everyday in a suggestive way. Maite Gurrutxaga's pencil illustrations are an appropriate complement for a neat and appealing publication in Sarri's black book.

This publishing house offers different and beautiful editions each time. We once mentioned Tanizaki's "Elogio de la sombra" and now we come across a precious little book that Dinouart bishop from Paris wrote in 1771. In his work we can find a sentence that has later been used so many times: "don't say anything that is not better than silence". This attempt is a small treasure. We won't let you ours, because it is one of those books with no return.

The music magazine that turned from being a two-monthly publication to a web page can't avoid the charm of paper and has published an annual magazine type book. This work published in a classic format is the perfect complement for those who think that web pages are a big step forward in current affairs. Because this is not simply an annual book; it also has long and deep articles (The Smiths, Gainsbourg, Poch, Crumb...), an amazing picture collection and collaborations of many people in the music scene. As if that weren't enough, they have collected different proposals of 2008 in an album. Many music fans from other countries would also like to have a book like this. Now we are waiting for next year's book...
