“The true record collector’s obsessive love of music and its artifacts and the East Bay in all its quirky, resolutely peculiar glory really come to life in this, the only book that has ever spurred me to plow through several layers of stacked apartment detritus to get at my old Jeff Back LPs. And yes: Telegraph Avenue really is exactly like that, an truth still sounds as great as it ever did. Beautifully done.”

-Frank Portman, author of KING DORK

 

“THE VINYL PRINCESS will make you tune in, rock out, and dream on.”

-Daniel Handler

 

“A funny and poignant insider’s look at record store culture.”

-Terry Zwigoff- director of Ghost World

“As dead-on a portrait of a true-blue teenage music obsessive as you’re likely to find. Prinz totally nails it.”

 -Colin Meloy, The Decemberists

“Prinz (The Vinyl Princess) infuses romance into a heated battle for justice in this provocative novel starring Aurora, a resilient, displaced city girl who loves photography”

– Publisher’s Weekly

“… a pitch perfect coming of age novel. The story of the summer Roar turns sixteen is absolutely unforgettable and totally satisfying.”
