The Books – A Dot in Time. [box set]

Watch Nick Zammuto reveal some details about the upcoming, career-spanning boxset  A Dot in Time. by The Books. He celebrates the release (on July 24 via Temporary Residence) with drinking the second beer of his entire life (and it seems highly unlikely that he ever will drink a third one).
