A compendium of notations, journal records, pen-games, and other jottings made by Brecht and Filliou while operating their small Fluxus store in Villefranche-sur-mer, in which they sold any item with (or without) a cedilla in it’s name. These items included Fluxus boxed works, postcards, jewellery and an assortment of other cheap art. This volume also includes documentation of the store, in the form of photographs, newspaper articles and correspondence (including a letter to Lloyd’s Of London, attempting to have the proprietors insured against “premature senility”).
