New York, Something Else Press, 1967.

'"Store Days" is the remainings of the most significant monuments of early 60's New York art - the events, theories, works and situations surrounding Claes Oldenburg's Store, which on the one hand was a real place where real sales were made, and on the other a set of ideas whose reverberations are still being felt.... "Store Days" is a selection by the artist, with the aid of Emmett Williams, of texts, graphic materials and photos from 1961-62'. A small glassine envelope mounted on the front flyleaf contains, as issued, a business card for The Store.
