Ivan M. AK is awesome for a number of reasons: They're worker-owned, they support a wide range of left and anarchist politics, countless events take place at their warehouse, and their prices are fair and reasonable, to name just a few.
The Friends of AK program is great too. Get all their published stuff for a low, monthly subscription. And they throw hella fun parties throughout the year, including Fuck the 4th!
Basically, just get out there and support AK.
ayahthetiger .. Maybe it's just because I live in their warehouse and we're neighbors that I'm biased, but AK not only has awesome books, but they have nice employees too. We all live together in a big old brick building that used to be an armory, across the street from the Saint Vincent De Paul free lunch counter.
You should definitely come to their seasonal sale where they open up their storage and let you sift through the treasure trove of literature. They also have tables with good books for under five bucks. That's right folks, there something for everyone. From cookbooks, to communist manifestos, from zines, to parenting lit, if it's socially conscious and worth reading, AK will probably have it.
They also have some pretty cool educational and community events (that happen outside my door) from time to time, you should check their calendar and come visit our armory. Rose H. Yesterday my boyfriend and I hit up the (as I understand it to be) seasonal sale at their warehouse. It's was so rad there are hardly words. I could have died and been oh-so-happy: surrounded by for the most part highly attractive revolutionary thinkers and thousands upon thousands of revolutionary books, some of them for only a dollar? Fabulous! Plus, free (with suggested donation, which I of course happily gave) wine, crudite, and VEGAN DONUTS.
5 super-rad AK press books for under $20 + neat space with kitchen and weight room + collectively owned + attractive punks + free wine and donuts = super happy Rose. James Randall
