REDUCED PRICES FOR BOOKS

Lib Ed still has stocks of some of its earlier publications. Some of them are available online from Amazon and Abe books at a perplexingly wide range of prices. John Shotton’s No Master High or Low, for instance, can be bought for as little as £9.87 or as much as £52.46. Prices for David Gribble’s novel, A Really Good School, range from £4.98 to £29.95.

We only have 27 copies of No Master High or Low left, Real Education: Varieties of Freedom still sells well and Dartington in Conisbrough is new, and can be bought online here.

For a limited time,we are offering the rest of our stock at much reduced prices. These are the books available (and it isn’t too early to start thinking about Christmas presents!):

Lifelines, by David Gribble, £5 The sequel to Real Education, this book was written to show that libertarian education is not merely a treat for the wealthy, liberal middle class, but an invaluable support for the least privileged children in the world. It has sections describing Moo Baan Dek, a village for abused, abandoned and orphaned children in Thailand, and Butterflies, an organisation for street and working children in Delhi, as well as David Wills’ Barns Hostel for unbilletable evacuees during WWII and the Doctor Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School in the gangland of Chicago.

A Really Good School, by David Gribble £5 ‘This highly original satire of controlled, frequently Swiftian savagery, is a completely gripping and logically impeccable story of mass murder which is often, you’ll be surprised to discover, very funny.’ (Jonathan Gathorne- Hardy)

Leave me Alone, by Joanna Gore, £3 Joanna, studying anthropology, spent three months as a pupil in a London primary school. Her experiences there are somehow both unsurprising and shocking.

Worlds Apart, by David Gribble, £3 Summerhill is compared with public schools and Sands School is compared with comprehensive schools. Parallel extracts from official documents, students’ accounts and photographs are presented on facing pages without further comment.

The Dredd Phenomenon, by John Newsinger, £3 A critical look at what used to be called comic books. People who pick up the book at the anarchist book fair, hoping to find lots of illustrations, are disappointed. People seriously interested in the politics implied by the narratives find food for thought.
