Welcome to the News and Special Offers
June / July 2008
The big news is that my Bibliography of the CPGB is finally on-line, courtesy of the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust. Do have a look and let me know of any corrections or additions. It will be updated every four months. I already have dozens of additions ready to be added. Hopefully it will be available in book form in the future, if we can interest a publisher.
There are many new titles in the Philosophy ‘catalog’, and by the end of July there will be a lot more in Latin/South America and the Caribbean. View these by going to Browse Our Inventory. There is also a selection of trade union rule books – some recent but some going back to the 19th century.
There are a few new ‘catalogs’: London; Trade Unions UK – Textiles; Japan; Trotskyism – Journals; South Africa. This makes searching much easier.
Catalogue No.50 is being prepared – a celebratory bumper issue of signed and association copies. There will be some great items! In the meantime, I hope you find something from the current new catalogue.
SPECIAL OFFERS.
Every 2 months I will have a new list of special offers – on individual titles, ‘catalogs’ and journals. All have to be ordered direct from me and not via ABE.
I may have more than one copy of some of the individual titles, but it is on a ‘first come first served basis’ while stocks last.
They will still be listed on ABE at the higher price.
I can almost guarantee they will be the cheapest copies on the net for similar copies – they were at the time I made this list.
As usual, post and packing is extra.
CATALOG
20% off any titles from the ‘Catalog’ “Fiction"
Again, these have to be ordered direct from me not via ABE. To view the titles in this ‘catalog’, go to Browse Our Inventory, select ‘catalog’ “Fiction” then View All titles. Make a note of Title and Inventory Number then email or ring me.
