Lay It Down In Full View is a collection of 14 essays about the seminal rock band Silkworm. The first ever book about this band, it includes a 32-page colour picture section and an interview by Matt Kadane with band members Tim Midyett and Andy Cohen. Writers include Jonah Bayer, Rosy Overdrive, and Brian James Schill. 

Lovingly compiled over two years by writer and journalist Paul Duffus, Lay It Down In Full View is published to coincide with the band’s first live dates in two decades.

Editor Paul Duffus says: “Given the unparalleled nature of their discography, it was inevitable that books would be written about Silkworm. Lay It Down In Full View is both an analysis and celebration of the band and their music.”

Tim Midyett of Silkworm says: “Lay It Down in Full View is persistently thoughtful and insightful to a degree that is both flattering and shocking. So often I found myself reading about references, coruscations, and quirks so lost to time that it was as if I was just finding out about them. This book is a gift for us, and it captures the spirit of Silkworm beautifully. Forever we are in debt to all who took part.”
