I saw that this text is to be distributed free at occupy sites. I'm with Occupy PDX and how can I get involved in getting this important book out there?
Thanks for writing, Geran. We've just received our copies of Occupy! from the printers (they look beautiful!), and are trying to work this out right now. Could you (and anyone else!) send an email to verso [at] versobooks.com, and let us know which occupation and working group you're with; whether the occupation has a shipping address, a contact person (with email info) of someone who would look out for the copies; and whether you have a library (or, how you propose distributing them, maybe with an education or empowerment group - or something else)? Different occupations work in different ways so just let us know, and also we're working out at the moment how many copies we can afford to mail out.
I'm not an Occupier but a supporter and lifelong activist. I think it's beyond wonderful that Verso is doing this, making copies of the Occupy/Scenes from book available to various Occupy groups. It's a really worthwhile compilation, which I passed along to Occupy Tacoma when I'd finished with it. Paul Mason's book (Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere) is also very worthwhile, and one I hope gets widely read.
