La Veille Taupe?

I'm wanting to know more about the French bookshop/publisher La Vieille Taupe, who I've seen often referred to in the context of the Chomsky/Faurisson affair.
It seems this was originally a Marxist organisation specialising in works of the Situationists, writings of Bordiga, etc., then later after a period of closure became associated with Holocaust revisionists (including even some bizarre ultra-leftists who moved towards this position)? If anyone here knows more about this, and especially about whether claims of points of convergence between some of the French ultra-left and far right have any validity to them, I'd be very interested to hear. What connections exist between the two different incarnations of this bookshop/publisher?
There seems so much political capital made out of this by conservatives, anti-Chomsky liberals and others (including Pierre Vidal-Nacquet) that I'm not sure what to make of the whole thing.
