Help Infoshop publish the Black Bloc Papers
Infoshop.org and the Alternative Media Project are excited about the first book being published by our new imprint, Breaking Glass Press. We are publishing the revised edition of the Black Bloc Papers, which has been edited and compiled by David Van Deusen & Xavier Massot. The Black Bloc Papers is an anthology of documents by and about the people involved in the anti-capitalist, anarchist and anti-racist black blocs which have happened over the past ten years in North America.
We think that this book is an important addition to the growing number of books on the post-Seattle anti-capitalist and anti-globalization movements.
In order to publish this book, we need your financial assistance. Your contribution will help us print the book and take care of expenses related to setting up our new publishing wing.
We need to raise $5000 by February 15, 2006 to publish this book
There are three ways you can help us publish this book:
- Pre-order a copy of the book for $15 each. The book will retail for $16.95 so pre-ordering gets you a small discount.
- Donate money to this project. Donate $25 or more to us and we will send you a copy of the book, give you 4 issues of Infoshop News & Views and a copy of our next two books.
- Lend money to us in the amount of $25, $50, $100, $200 or more. We will pay interest to you in the amount of 5% (annual). If we don't raise enough money by February 15, 2007 to publish the book, we will refund your loan immediately.
