Rich Maloof and HP Newquist are the know-it-alls behind VBVW. Between them, Maloof and Newquist have written enough words to give carpal tunnel syndrome to half of Asia. You can find their books and articles—on subjects from music and money to health and Hell—all over the web.

Here’s Maloof and here’s Newquist.

Their experience with dozens of books and hundreds of magazines has given them a first-hand look at exactly what constitutes the VERY BEST and VERY WORST of everything. Every Friday, they’ll pass that information on to you. The best part? It won’t cost you a penny. And you’ll be richer for the experience.

The collected works of THE VERY BEST AND VERY WORST are currently being compiled into book form and will be published by Nightwatch Press. Collect them all and you’ll have history in your hands. To have and to hold. To touch. To comfort you on a rainy day like a hug and a bowl of tomato soup.
