Scored this for free from Ana at Book Haven/The Freedom Shop in Newtown, Wellington. Thanks, homie!

I loved this essay/booklet, been looking for it for a while now. Serendipitous to find it at my fave anarchist infoshop. It's an inspiring read, a snapshot of the way AK Press was founded and evolved over 25 yrs, from the UK to the US, the major shifts in its publishing trajectory and the problems they've had to maneuver.

Anyone who has had even a tangential involvement with The Beautiful Idea will know AK and their work. The bulk of my anarchist library is work they've published. And in November, my first piece of writing in print is coming out in an anthology published by AK.

I loved reading this celebration of AK Press, a short and welcome diversion from work in the garden yesterday. My mind wandered frequently, inspired by the events mentioned by Laursen. Big ups to AK Press!
