Some history about Re/Search:

In San Francisco, Spring 1977, V. Vale, a worker at City Lights Bookstore, began documenting the rise of the early Punk Rock Cultural Revolution as an amateur anthropologist and historian, heavily influenced by Andy Warhol, the Dadaists, Surrealists and the Situationists. His magazine, SEARCH & DESTROY, was made possible when Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti each gave him $100 to start publishing.

In 1980, SEARCH & DESTROY morphed into book publishing with RE/SEARCH, a pun on Search & Destroy. The goal is to produce primary source, undiluted, uncensored, ideas, conversations, and just plain inspiration to Do-It-Yourself Artist/Scientists who value independence, anti-authoritarianism, and Black Humor above all else.

Vale's best-seller of all time was MODERN PRIMITIVES, which in 1989 sparked the global tattoo-and-body-piercing art-practice.
