Cavellini in California on Video - 1980

Releasing at Miami Book Fair - November 21 to 23!!!

 It took 30 years to get this fun book into print. What a bear to squeeze as much as I could into this newest edition. Lots of photos, reports and comments by the artists who were there and a mail art show commemorating it all. Photos, artwork, and confessions are just some of the topics included in this book. Stories and reports by: Banana, Behrens-Brigham, Bell, Bloch, Cavellini, Chew, Held, ING, Mollett, Olbrich, Spiegelman, Truck, and many more. 

Let me know if you are interested in getting an email about special offers at release time. The print copy is a nice coffee table book which for a limited time I offer at a discount.

Fluxus friend and cohort Keith A. Buchholz will arrive to help me during the fair and sell his FLUX PRESS books, perform and create mayhem.
