Legitimate Business Press's first book, Love Ju**ie, has been rebooted!!!! This edition corrects errata in the first edition and includes three additional short stories: "Getting the Skinny on the Disbarred Lawyer," "Copping Dope With a Killer," and "The Temple of Junerism".

The title novella, "Love Ju**ie" is a memoir style story of Emily, a young he**in addict in Providence, RI who falls in love with a drug dealer. The previously unpublished stories in this enhanced edition follow our anti-he**ine on further adventures, including scoring he**in with a recently paroled murderer and guiding a blacked out friend into an abandoned Masonic Temple in a perilous tale of urban exploration gone horribly wrong.
