My Book…
Posted by Delfina

A book I co-wrote with my friend Richard has been published and will be out in January. It has nothing to do with Green Day. It’s a handbook about working in egalitarian collectives (an example of a collective that you’ve all heard of is Gilman St.). I used to volunteer with a few. The one I’m most fond of is Food Not Bombs.

You can read a description and an excerpt here. There are more excerpts in the publisher’s catalog (pdf), on pages 8 and 9. Comics are by Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness.

That’s so cool that you wrote a book! It sounds really interesting.

This is awesome, D! I used to volunteer at an anarchist book shop in DC that was run as a collective, so this looks really interesting to me! Congrats!

Congratulations! Can’t wait to read it.

Thanks for all your nice words! :)

(random question) Is it published by a mainstream company os self published?

Comment from Delfina December 21, 2009, 1:07 am

It’s not self-published, and it’s also not published by a large mainstream publisher. AK Press is a publisher and distributor of radical books that has been around for quite a while and is well known in the political/radical scene. (It’s kind of like an independent record label vs. a major label.)

:D Congrats, Delfina! It actually sounds interesting and I like the cover. ;) I love how you compared the publisher to an independent label- how punk rock of you,haha.:D Congrats again!!

@Delfina: Oh cool thanks, I was just wondering.

Sounds like a much needed handbook on the process. Congratulations, Delfina!

Hi Delfina. Haven’t seen anything from you in a while. Hope all is well. Just wanted to tell you that I got your book, and am thrilled. I don’t have a collective, but a business/family thing that I have been struggling with. Haven’t finished it, but was grabbed by the part about talking to people ahead of time — trying to influence them, etc. A real problem I have been experiencing, and something I recently recognized. You really clarified it for me. Great book, thanks!
