Dave Mandl<p>Seen at Mercer St. Books: this early-'80s edition of Vaneigem's "Revolution of Everyday Life" (Left Bank Books). I *never* see copies of this. I know this is in pristine condition because the type rubs off the cover after a while. (The cover of my copy is blank.) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Situationists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Situationists</span></a></p>
