Why can't these things be in London?
Bookfairs: anarchist, radical, other. (Not the LABF).

They can be, just not on this thread, as per the title. (But if you insist, this is mid-October: 12th October 2024 - Anarchist Bookfair London)

Talks for the Manchester bookfair listed now:

One fairly obvious one by an urb on there. Also the list of stalls:

Intrigued by the "New bistro out of Iceland", I've always thought these things could do with more bistros.

The right to roam thing sounds right up my packhorse trail. I might try to get off my jaded arse and give this one a look.

Peterborough Radical Bookfair this coming weekend. Come and meet the ACG on their stall.

dunno, i looked for "interrogating the liminal role of gulls in revolutionary praxis", but didn't see it.

They're having one in the southeast suburb of Newport as well at the end of November:
Bonus points for having cats although the weird face makes me wonder if they might be AI? Apologies to the artist if they're not AI and it's just an artist who can't do cat faces.

They're by Théophile Steinlen, left wing artist who did the famous "Tournée du Chat Noir" poster in the late 19th century.

Steinlen wasn't "left-wing" , he was an anarchist communist.

I think Goldsmiths either refurbished or sold the venue? It was indeed a good event.

Not so much politically, as economically. They've badly, badly fucked up and are now bankrupt. As a result they raised hire of the hall phenomenally, and so the London Radical Bookfair didn't happen

I'm not sure I follow your post. If you are talking about Goldsmiths and not the book fair, both can be true. The book fair might be considered 'collateral damage'. Bankruptcy is news to me, not a word I've heard even whispered at Goldsmiths. Political turmoil is apparent in many dimensions. YMMV

spelling is overrated
Is the turmoil mainly focused on whether the ACG should have a stall or not?

It fell under the radar of a lot of my mates this year as well. I thought it was alright, went to a decent session by someone who was involved with Angry Workers. I've heard it may be their last year at PHM as they charge too much £££ so we'll see what happens next year!
