RED MAY SALE!
50% off ALL our print books, 80% off ALL our ebooks.

The world has been hit by a pandemic that has shaken the foundations of capitalist society. There must be no return to the politics and economics of the past. More than ever before, it is clear that radical ideas rooted in anti-capitalism, eco-socialism, and anti-racism, will bring about the sort of profound change that we need.
The publishing world—especially independent radical publishing—is experiencing a very difficult time given the closure of bookshops. We're delighted to be part of #RadicalMay—a supportive collaboration between radical independent publishers from around the world. See all the online events planned here.
Starting today—on May Day—we have 50% off all our print books and 80% off all our ebooks! We have our warehouses to thank for continuing to send books to our readers (see more information on their safety measures here). Our sale will end on May 24th, 23:59 EST. Lots of our radical publishing friends also have incredible discounts on their books at the moment: take a look on the Left Book Club website!
2020—a momentous time for global politics—is also our 50th anniversary. We hope you will join us in holding capitalism and imperialism to account, and support a new wave of radical publishing and movements across the world.
