Cody's, landmark Berkeley bookstore, closes Berkeley -- Cody's Books, the legendary Berkeley bookstore that catered to literati nationwide for more than half a century and was firebombed in the 1980s because of its support of the First Amendment, has closed its doors, the victim of lagging sales. anarchist librarians email lista-librarians@lists.mutualaid.orgYes, we have a mailing list!

Bookstore burns books while anarchist bookstore expands a few miles away
Kansas City -- As a booklover, librarian, writer, publisher and bookseller, nothing gets me more excited than visiting a new independent bookstore for the first time or being involved in the creation of a new infoshop or bookstore. Over the years I've been involved with three radical bookstore projects: Rainbow Bookstore (Madison, Wisc), the Brian MacKenzie Center (Washington, DC), and the Crossroads Infoshop & Radical Bookstore (Kansas City, MO). I helped start the Brian MacKenzie Center in 1999, which opened its doors in 2003 and is celebrating its fourth anniversary this month. I helped start the Crossroads Infoshop in 2004, which has existed in two locations before it moved into its new space this past week. Crossroads is a volunteer-run business and organization.
Houston: Sedition Books locates new space! and wishlistFor those of you that don't know, Sedition Books found a new space! We signed the lease this week, and we're going to work hard to try and be open in a month or so. The new space is at 4816 Old Spanish Trail (I think the zip code is 77021). It's right near U of H.
New York: Book Fair Unites Anarchists -- In Spirit, Anyway There are almost as many definitions and interpretations as there are adherents. There are, for example, anarcho-syndicalists, anarcho-communists, and eco-anarchists. Then there are the anarcho-primitivists in Oregon, who deplore technology and therefore have at least one glaring difference with a group of New York anarchists, who run a volunteer computer lab at ABC No Rio, a community center on the Lower East Side.
Poland: Anarchist Information Center’s First Anniversary!!!!The web project CIA (Anarchist Information Center) is one year old! CIA is an anarchist, collective-run website which publishes moderated content in Polish, English and other languages. It also has a small media library and has a CIA channel which it hopes to develop in the next year. Our collective is growing and we hope to continue developing the site.
Croatia: Report on the Third Annual Anarchist Bookfair in ZagrebAnarhistic(ki sajam knjiga (Anarchist Bookfair in Zagreb/Croatia) started March 30.2007 in the place of Zelena Akcija (Green Action) around 3 p.m. Although this place is less than one from last year, it is enough big for publishers and organisations which will represent themselves. Different people came, from subculture to the mothers with children. Publishers came from different countries (Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, France, Austria, etc). I liked mostly place of Croatian publisher "Što c(itaš" (What You Read), organisation from France "Federation Anarchiste" (they have and Radio Libertaire in Paris) and Anfema ("Anarcha-Feminist Action" from Croatia).
Ottawa's anarchist bookshop a spot for 'fringe' thinkers to gatherExile Infoshop opens on Bank Street to offer alternative media, resources You won't get any Starbucks coffee at Exile Info-shop, Ottawa's first anarchist bookstore. And don't try to pay with your capitalist credit cards, either. The new Ottawa bookstore opened this week to "provide access to alternative media and resources."
