“What harm can a book do that costs a hundred crowns? Twenty volumes of anything will never make a revolution – it is the little pocket pamphlets that they should fear.” – Voltaire (1694 – 1778)

After the mass destruction of zine culture in favour of the morass of online information, some hardcore paper fetishists remain:

Uncle Louis, his Fruits and Vegetables: A Proletarian Critique of the Nation of Islam is number 6 in the series of pamphlets from the Melancholic Troglodytes.

2 quid from Centreprise in Dalston, or from:
Melancholic Troglodytes
Box 44
136-138 Kingsland High Street
London

(Send cash or cheque with blank payee, allow extra for p&p – it’s A4, 60 pages)

They’ve also translated On The Poverty of Student Life into Farsi. Back issues available, you can email them at meltrogs1 at hotmail dot com.

I’ve previously plugged Why Not Show Off About The Best Things? by the Wu-Ming Foundation, and this forms part of one of the Infopool pamphlets, which are available from Housmans in Kings Cross for 3 quid, or direct (see link).

Back issues on Danish Situationism, political conceptual art, more. Contributors include Stewart Home and Howard Slater (of Break/Flow).
