A 2026 Audie Award Finalist for NonfictionNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER For the first time, director Rob Reiner and cocreators Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer provide the full behind-the-scenes story of the making of the groundbreaking mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap and its upcoming sequel. Since its original release in 1984, This Is Spinal Tap has evolved from a beloved cult film into a cinematic landmark: an all-time comedy classic that pioneered an entire genre, the mockumentary. Now, director Rob Reiner and his cowriters and costars, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, tell the complete story of the movie and its fictitious bandhow they met, how Spinal Tap came to be, and how their low-budget indie film took on a life of its own. Years after the movie first came out, the Library of Congress selected This Is Spinal Tap for inclusion in the National Film Registry and Tap went on to play The Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Stadium, and to over 100,000 fans at the Glastonbury Festival in England. Reiner, Guest, McKean, and Shearer provide the backstories to the movie's famous linesamong them ';Hello, Cleveland!,' ';None more black,' ';You can't dust for vomit,' and ';These go to eleven'and to such Tap anthems as ';Big Bottom' and ';Stonehenge.' Featuring never-before-seen photographs, band memorabilia, and personal reminiscences of their enduring creative partnership, A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever will delight Tap-heads of all agesjust as the long-awaited Spinal Tap sequel is hitting theaters. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever also comes with a bonus memoir by Reiner's directorial alter ego, Marty DiBergi, in which he interviews Tap band members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls about their musical journey and their drummers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to the rock gods.

This book is The Art of War for the age of Guerrilla Compassion. The book contains an exact blueprint for all the solutions to all of the problems facing the Vegan community worldwide. "e;Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win."e; - Sun Tzu Most vegans go to war first - shocked by the ridicule, the bacon memes, the family dinner ambushes - and only later try to figure out what hit them. This book makes sure you win first. "e;If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."e; - Sun Tzu Here you will walk deep behind carnivore lines and learn every hidden mechanism: the fragile masculinity, the cognitive dissonance, the tribal signalling, the herd instincts disguised as "e;personal choice."e; You will see every attack coming ten moves ahead and smile graciously knowing your opponents can't land a punch.. "e;The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."e; — Sun Tzu That is exactly what Guerrilla Compassion does. No shouting. No moral superiority. Just calm, surgical "e;compassionate assassination"e; - until the only possible outcome is surrender to non-violence. It has a running theme of trying to understand all the mechanisms that result in resistance to Veganism, in an effort to help people avoid counterproductive situations and optimize their outreach strategies. It also contains enough ammunition to cleanly and decisively end the culture wars - with the only possible outcome as non-violence for the ultimate victory. Understanding the intentions and underlying psychological motivations behind the public ridicule of Veganism is ultimately empowering and only hardens ones resolve with the knowledge that their fight is real, their argument is true, and the opposition is entirely fabricated. This book is a tool designed to breed the Ultimate Vegan Warrior in the fight for a kinder world - with invincible psychological prowess, absolute grit, and battle tested determination. It's a source of inspiration for young men who are uncertain of the social and cultural climate - and a weapon of understanding that gives the power to ignore jabs, deflect blows, and strike calmly with kindness - in the spirit of "e;Guerilla Compassion"e;. Where many Vegans may not be aware of what's happening behind enemy lines - in the world of carnivores, in the culture wars etc. - and might be completely surprised and miffed by the real world resistance they see towards Veganism - this book delves deep into enemy territory and unravels how and why there are many people who are wishing for Veganism to fail, how and why they are wrong and exactly how to beat them at their own game (in the kindest and most peaceful way possible).
