We went along to the Manchester Anarchist bookfair at Bridge 5 Mill, Beswick St, Ancoats

There was a fair spread of stuff there, including a lot of green stuff, Manchester Earth First people, Ron Marsden and the Solidarity Federation, an AK Press stall, a cafe, talks, the Mark Barnsley campaign and various booksellers, with even a copy of the Brian Bamford rival 'Raven' magazine on sale.

It was a really good day out, a bit like the London bookfair in microcosm, but much quieter. The organisers say there will be another one in May.
