Uncommon sale at Coco's Variety

We are going to be selling bikes this weekend. Come see us. Call us. But we will be busy, you should just come see us. Have anything ripe in the garden? Bring it. Are your chickens laying eggs? Avocados? See something good at the farmer's market? Have some extra soda pops from your last party? Bring it. Will we negotiate below our already insanely low sale prices? Probably not. But if you baked us a banana bread, we might have some flexibility. Bring a box of supermarket cookies? Nope.

We are working side by side. We are in this together. We want you on a bike. Do what you can do, we will do our best to do what we can do. Let's have an honorable dialog.

Beauties of the Common Tool




A portfolio by Walker Evans
Fortune, July 1955

Who would sully the lines of the tin-cutting shears... with a single added bend or whorl? Or clothe in any way the fine naked impression of heft and bite in the crescent wrench? ...not much can be done to spoil a crate opener, that nobly ferocious statement in black steel. —W.E.

A micro-press for variable conditions




For Further Information publishes books on art, design, writing and related activities, modelled on a micro-press economy. FFI currently uses print-on-demand facilities as a viable avenue of production, making use of inherent restrictions in formats and production values to focus less on the material concerns of book design and more on the direct dispersal of ideas and work. —Wayne Daly
