Back in print: THE BUREAU! - A long list of appreciated comments from listeners and readers suggest this is a solid choice for the unusual and/or employed. It is a book with a 9.5 music soundtrack. Press play at 8:55am and follow the instructions. First editions sold out pretty quickly in 2019 and here's a new edition for 2023/2024. New edition has a few extra pages of art and is on a more pulp-like paper stock that better resembles government posters.

The accompanying album on Bandcamp includes a PDF download, to be printed at home if you'd prefer:
