Good Ol' Fashion Trainspotting

It’s nice seeing a non-fiction biography that isn’t a photograph of the subject alone. The Heroin Diaries gives us more than just a stale image of Nikki Sixx, we are sent presented with images that are part of the world of our protagonist. I am also happy to see that the characters of the words aren’t made up from a predetermined font set—something like that wouldn’t work with this cover. Instead the scribbles and etches make for a richer preview of the topic.
