Radical bookshop opens in Cornwall!!

Go on, put this on the promoted newswire - stuff like the is brilliant. Best of luck!

Congrats on new/renewed radical bookshoppie venture. Not that long ago there was a good network of radical independent bookshops and publishers across the country. Maybe as people start to get tired of the homogenous mega-corps like borders et al, there can be a little resurgence.

We (PN) are based above Housman bookshop ( http://www.housmans.com) in central London and know it has been a struggle at times to maintain operations in the face of the insane underpricing and scale of the bigger stores. But we also know that the broad community - of activists, campaigners, radical academics, various anti-authoritarians, etc - who use the shop (and can find all manner of quirky material - alongside more "normal" tomes), do really value it.

All social and political movements need spaces where ideas and information can be traded (in financial terms or otherwise) and as well as providing a service, bookshops and radical publications also help foster a sense of community.

So good luck with it amig@s ;)
Cornwall will be a better place for it.
