Based on the works of This Is Serious Mum. Compiled by The Most Beautiful Economist in the World. TISM are a seven-piece Australian band which perform as a pseudonymous masked characters. The TISM Guide to Little Aesthetics contains lyrics, press releases, biographical taint, interviews, illustrations, and more. The story goes there were legal threats regarding the revealing of certain identities, so most of the few copies which ever become available are adorned with a “Censored due to legal advice” sticker on the front cover and redacted by hand throughout, though a few uncensored copies are known to exist. This is a censored copy.
