This copy with a personal signed inscription from the author to arts publisher Jenny Zimmer, dated 2.11.2016. 

‘Unemployable traces the origins of the Hill brothers’ passion for skateboarding to the founding of their initial company Hardcore Enterprises and subsequent entities, Die Hard streetwear, Globe, Dwindle Distribution and Globe International. Following the Australian Super skateboard tours of the 80s, the streetwear fashion explosion of the 90s and the arrival and growth of Globe in California (the heart of the action sports industry), the Globe story is one of loyalty, stumbling, dealing with change and ultimately, succeeding.’ – the publisher.
