The fiery breeze of psych-noise pleasers Galaxie 500 brought me to Exact Change Rarities: Classics of Experimental Literature, an independent publishing jaunt founded in 1989 by Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang of the same band.
Heads of their field, Exact Change specialised in re-publishing 19th and 20th century avant-garde literature with the belief that several important niche titles should remain available always.
Conveniently, on their 20th Anniversary they've opened their vaults to sell a limited number of early publications like John Cage's Composition in Retrospect, The Poems of Charles Simic (the co-Poetry Editor of the Paris Review) and Slow Under Construction, the magic words one of Surrealism's leading figures, Andre Breton.
For those who dig a literary kink, their well-constructed books and small volumes dust the past off ancient smarts and honour language experiments with the limits of description - still relevant to us now. Bang that in your online cart. Exact change is no longer necessary.
