Michael Rosen: a pleasure to have you on the site! The Vintage Book of Dissent was indeed one of the early inspirations (as we mention on page xvi), as well as an invaluable resource in putting together the book. The Verso office copy has been well-thumbed-through. You'd be pleased with the poor shape it's now in -- a shame copies are no longer available! But while we did use and acknowledge a handful entries, the vast majority of the Verso book is based on many months of original research, including a number of newly translated or previously unpublished extracts. We hope you enjoy it!

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.
