Photobook edited by Barbara Ess and Glenn Branca as the final installment in the Just Another Asshole series. The book includes photographs by Nan Goldin, Barbara Kruger, David Wojnarowicz, Jeff Wall, Jack Goldstein, Dan Graham, Rodney Graham, Peter Hujar, and others; and critical essays by Cookie Mueller, Lynn Tillman, Amy Taubin and Gary Indiana.

The book, as well as the Just Another Asshole series altogether, is a remarkable record of the no-wave aesthetics and the East Village art scene of the 1980s. Just Another Asshole (JAA) gathered essays, short stories, artworks, and more by an idiosyncratic—and now iconic—coalition of downtown luminaries including Kathy Acker, Michael Gira, Kim Gordon, Dan Graham, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Cookie Mueller, Richard Prince, Lynne Tillman, Martha Wilson and David Wojnarowicz. Though Just Another Asshole was first published as a series of zines, editors Barbara Ess and Glenn Branca published further issues in mixed media such as newspapers, vinyl records, and books.
