Don't be a blockhead and give Bezos or Chapters/Indigo your money, for various reasons. Instead, support independent publishers like BTL and PM or ask your local radical bookshop to order a few copies.

To celebrate National Black Cat Day, we're sharing Direct Action Gets the Goods, which features our fav black cat - Sabo, or the Sabo-Tabby Kitten - who's always ready to strike at the heart of the capitalist system!
