Amuti 23, 23 Cecil Court, Strand, WC2N 4EZ

Exhibitions: , Art, Media

How Much: Free!

You wouldn't expect just the normal kind of Christmas events at maverick booksellers (yes, it is kind of an oxymoron) Amuti 23 now would you?

Good. Because this isn't the usual Christmas show. The clue comes in the full title - 51 Gifts of Meaning and Value for a Post-Crisis Culture to Welcome in an Era of Neo-Decadent Revolt. Bizarre huh?

But sounds cool. All manner of unusual things are on display and available for prices that range from £5 (for a 1st edition Sartre translation) to £501,000 (for a collage of Sex Pistols ephemera by artist Jamie Reid).

Until 23.12.09.
