Dear Arlis-ians,

Among the many in the path of Sandy were many independent publishers and book shops here in NYC. I'm sure many of you have heard about the flooding at Printed Matter in Chelsea. They lost a huge amount of inventory and archival material. I helped them wade through some of the debris after the storm and it was really heartbreaking. I also surveyed the damage of Primary Information's storage space in the downtown Manhattan and saw a huge amount of their back stock irreparably damaged. If you are not familiar with their program, follow the link below. They are a non-profit that specializes in re-publishing important out-of-print materials, like Avalanche Magazine or the online archive of Seth Siegelaub's papers, and producing great new books by contemporary artists. 

Anyway, both institutions could use support at this time. I know Printed Matter has made several new benefit editions. Check out their website and new offerings if you are interested. Primary Information has just circulated their 2013 subscription announcement (see below). Librarians collecting contemporary art books for you institution would be hard-pressed to find a better bang for your acquisitions buck with this subscription offer. Buying books help these great non-profits continue to do great work. 

best, David Senior

John Miller's special membership card for Primary Information is part of his ongoing Middle of the Day series which he began in 1994. This photograph of anonymous tourists visiting Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau

is 4 x 6 inches and appears like a postcard that commemorates tourists rather then the destination they are visiting.
