In preperation for reopening on the 1st of June we will have to shift around a lot of our stock and being lazy are asking for your help. If you are free for a few hours on Sunday afternoon and can carry books up and down stairs please pop along.
We will be having a grand reopening party for the Freedom Bookshop on Saturday 1st June starting 2pm. There will be nibbles and refreshments as well as highbrow bookish discourse and witty repartee. We extend an especial invite to everyone who has contributed to the cleanup and restoration. (p.s we’re still open upstairs in the meantime)
While we do repairs and renovations downstairs after the firebomb attack, we’ve opened a substitute bookshop upstairs. It’s been designed by ‘Isla’™ and is known as the rainbow bookshop because all the books are sorted by colour. This isn’t as silly as it might sound. Firstly everything will have to be moved downstairs again in a week or two so sorting them out by subject would be a waste of time, and secondly it’s amazing how many people ask for books by colour.

Following Friday’s firebomb attack we’ve had an amazing response from people worldwide.
So much so that we will be able to open the shop on Monday 4th February for business… not quite as usual, but reasonably close.
Our stock is somewhat reduced, but now features some interesting fire-damaged memorabilia. Read more »
We would like to thank everyone who came down on Saturday to help clean up the shop. We have been awestruck by the tremendous solidarity that’s been shown and also for the many supportive messages and donations that have been sent to us from around the world.
The clean-up will be continuing at the bookshop on Sunday 3rd February from 1pm until around 3pm, so please spread the word. All welcome. Read more »
We are currently upgrading Freedom bookshop online service so if you have any problems with ordering on the website, please contact the bookshop directly either by phone, email or post and we will be more than happy to help you out.
The definitive book on the hero of the Mexican Revolution.
For the first time in English, Malatesta, in his usual commonsense and matter-of-fact style, sets out and critically analyses the arguments for and against anarchism.
Fighting For Ourselves
anarcho-syndicalism and the class struggle
Now back in stock, this book by the Solidarity Federation on anarcho-syndicalism and the class struggle, sets about recovering lost history in order to set out a revolutionary strategy for present conditions.
