D. W. by garth graeper (2013)


 D.W.

greying ghost

(c) 2013

I have always admired what greying ghost did and the way that they presented work, and shipped their books with odd ephemera. I scored a number of these "not-broadsides, not-books" from them somewhere along the lines. Good stuff.

Making the Difference : The Story of Wal-Mart (??)


 Making the Difference : The Story of Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart Visitors Center

Bentonville, AR

date uncertain

This is an oversized self congratulatory bit of propaganda that I am including here since it's a staple-bound "booklet" filled with zombie capitalism at its worst. How much does the Walton family avoid in taxes? Why are employees of Wal-Mart dependent on Medicare and Medicaid? 

I have not shopped in a Wal-Mart in 23 years (who said I am counting?)
