AMERICAN EXTREMES--THERE AT THE BEGINNING

American Extremes is a collection of humorous social critism chapters that is said to be the "Bible of the Washington Grunge Movement" and the first to identify the concept of "extremes" that would later become applicable to sports, skateboarding, tattoos, cults, bikers and many other subjects that live in the tender under belly of America. It is Toomer's second book (of three)--it plays better now than when it was written, twelve years ago. Toomer was featured on 20/20, Real People, People Magazine, CBS Morning News and the NBC Today Show (5 times).
