NOTES
LEAVING THE 20th CENTURY: The Incomplete Work of the Situationist International, Chris Grey.
After almost a year of hassling with the publishers of the book in England and attempts to get copies from Canada, it’s now quite apparent that we’ll never get hold of it. Our hopes were urged on last November when we received a letter from England, stating that 50 copies had been mailed and were on their way. Either they weren’t sent or they’ve been lost in the mail. So, for those people who ordered copies of the book, we’ll either send you your money back or send a replacement title(s). Whichever you please. We’re sorry for all the trouble and thanks for being patient.
HOW TO ORDER
(1) List the title of the book(s), price and amount of each book(s);
(2) Add 5% for mailing costs;
(3) Total (Michigan residents please add 4% sales tax); and mail it to us.
Please write all checks and money orders to: DROP-OUT PRODUCTIONS, but mail to
