RECENTLY, the Morning Star’s online shop and stalls have lacked any new books that would be of interest to our readers.
It is therefore with real pleasure that we can announce today that books published by Manifesto Press will be available to our readers via our online shop and where we can at conferences and events.
It’s over a decade since Manifesto Books was launched, with the aims to publish working-class history, socialist theory and the politics of class struggle and working-class political power and, during this time, over 40 books have been published.
Manifesto Press is now constituted as a co-operative registered in the same way as the People’s Press Printing Society which makes it even more appealing for our two businesses to be working together on promoting the publications.
The logistics have been relatively simple to set up as both Manifesto Press and the Morning Star use Solu4ions fulfilment.
Solu4ions has been running the Morning Star online shop for several years, allowing us to concentrate on our core business of publishing the Morning Star.
Two books that we hope will fly off the Morning Star online shop’s shelves are Phil Katz’s new biography of revolutionary pioneer Tom Mann and Nigel Flanagan’s Our Trade Unions: What Comes Next After the Summer of 2022.
And if, like me, you are eagerly awaiting the release of the London Recruits film, you can gen up with some background reading with these two books: London Recruits (an Educational Resource) and How To Master Secret Work.
Radical inspiration comes from learning about solidarity, bravery and internationalism and these books will give you all of this. Importantly for the Morning Star we will take a percentage of all sales made from Manifesto Press books. So another great way for you to support the paper.
Now that we have tempted you to revisit the Morning Star shop, don’t forget to look at the other merchandise items, mugs, caps, hats, badges, flasks and travel mugs. Check back regularly as we will be updating with new items shortly.
