same question here - the ebooks are bargaintastic
 
I bought some Althusser, Zizek, Badieu, Baudrillard, Age of Jihad, The New Poverty and A Guide to the Ruins of New Britain.


...not that that’s a recommendation. I haven’t read half my last lot yet!

Did you get ebooks? I read journal articles online but for some reason reading a book feels different (my concentration is a bit fucked anyway, maybe that's the issue rather than the format)
 
PM Press (US division) have all ebooks for 71p for around next 24 hours (11:59 PST on 31st). Prices read as normal but just add BUCK in the coupon bit at check out. This is particularly handy as it's been impossible to order new books from these since brexit (or subscribe to US journals) as prices near doubled as did postage. There's alos loads of great free books from within same stock - i.e stuff like All Power to the Councils!: A Documentary History of the German Revolution of 1918–1919

(I know lots of these can be got free elsewhere - but you can show a bit of support for a great publishing venture this way).
 
How the eff does Rooum ever get his Wildcat cartoons published and re-published?

I think it must be because he's really very nice. Which gives me hope I guess.

Any recommendations on the e-books? I'm looking through them all, so far got a Victor Serge novel I didn't have, and a history of the George Jackson Brigade.

I'll post up my list in 5 minutes, just running through it gain for ones i missed - but i'll be missing loads of good stuff as i already have them.
 
Definitely:

Selma James - Sex, Race and Class
Angry Brigade
Bonnot Gang
Black Mask and Up Against The Wall Motherfucker

Maybe:

Fire and Flames (German Autonomen)
John Barker - Futures
Punk stuff
 
With Rooum I assumed it was because anarchist writers are plentiful but anarchist cartoonists are not, plus all the hours he has put in over the years.
