After the revolution money will either be abolished or will grow on trees, I forget which. In these decadent,pre-revolutionary times, however, printers want to be paid for their work. So if you want to see more anarchist books inprint and don't mind putting your money where your mouth is, Phoenix Press has a loan system whereby money is collected in small sums until enough has been got to pay for the printing of a book. Ten books have been printed using this system. The basic sum of money being asked for as a loan is currently 40.00 (It used to be less but that's inflation for you.) This sum has been chosen because it's slightly less than a full week's dole and therefore within the reach of most people. For the 40.00 loan you'll get a copy of the book for which the money was lent, plus a copy of the current Anarchist Yearbook. When enough books have been sold you'll be offered your loan back. (Remember Phoenix is asking for loans,not gifts.) This takes ages and of course you'll be asked to continue the loan for another book.
The Phoenix loan system means you can help anarchist publishing without having to put up the full cost of a book(at least 2,000 pounds a sum beyond the reach of most people). So if you think anarchists publishing is worth supporting, and can afford it, send a 40.00 loan the

This has resulted in a lot of support from local communities plus local media attention.
