Over 200 books folded and fab­u­lous. Found a copy of Joe McGin­niss “The Sell­ing of the Pres­i­dent” in paper­back — on my shelf from a U of A class in 1973, required read­ing and it MUST BE USED, will begin flux­ing the book today. *This post writ­ten just after Sarah Palin went apeshit over McGin­niss liv­ing next door to her Mozilla Home. The post here talks about fold­ing books also.

The list of books used in this process con­tin­ues below in the list:

FluxBox Library

Books repur­posed and restored — mostly paper­backs circa 1950 – 1970 and not first edi­tions (duh) in May 2010:

The Water­gate Tapes
Mac­Beth
The Catcher in the Rye
Pen­ta­gon Papers
NC State Text­books circa 1930s (the paper used in these books folds like a dream, crisp and pre­cise but it can crackle and tear)
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

Mail Art FluxBoo

Webster’s Dic­tio­nary (paper­back 1970s ed)
and more…

Vin­tage Bottles

Some of the more inter­est­ing objects pur­chased this month thus far are the bot­tles from Tay­loe Phar­macy, found by a diver (?) some­where in the waters of the Pam­lico River. Other bot­tles of this col­lec­tion have the orig­i­nal labels, lots of Squill, pow­dered squill still IN the con­tainer. I’m think­ing squill is the ulti­mate rem­edy or death knell, there­fore it must be Fluxus. Fluxus Pow­dered Squill, avail­able today only. (not) I have at least two dozen bot­tles, prob­a­bly more like four dozen. The col­lec­tion of antique bot­tles is for sale, each bot­tle priced indi­vid­u­ally as some are pre-​Civil War era. Fas­ci­nat­ing his­tory in vin­tage bot­tles … lots of sources online. I will post pho­tographs of all the bot­tles later this week. A John Bull sar­sa­par­illa bot­tle on ebay cur­rently has over $150 bid and I have bot­tles much more pre­cious than that. Betcha’ can’t wait to see ‘em! They’re authen­tic, that’s the coolest part, came from right here in town…

The Nam­ing of Cur­rent Fluxus debate continues.

The argument/​discussion is itself so Fluxus that one can truly enjoy the debate as a Hap­pen­ing.
