Our neighborhood grocery store of 35 years (and our health food store of 45 years), both went out of business due to the rising cost of real estate, and the rampant big-box "blandalization" happening in New York City. A KGB Spy Museum moved into the building where the grocery store used to be, and this book was produced with "flyers I "collected" from the museum. It combines food with spy-craft as a parody of loss of the community market, and the usurping of something more essential by a less than covert free-market.
