7 reviews
Fred Smeijers

Hyphen Press, 1997

The most important book a type designer will ever read.
I've read a lot of books on type and this is the only one with a practical guide on how to create your own typefaces. I'm sure more people who read this book aren't going to start making their own metal type but the lessons learned in this book easily translate to the world of creating digital typefaces. After reading this it changed the way I design typefaces, completely. Now, instean of merely ...

End Times: The Death of the Fourth Estate (Counterpunch)

1 review
Alexander Cockburn, Jeffrey St. Clair

AK Press, 2006

Essential reading for anyone interested in free speech and media democracy!
Recently, I obtained a copy of this excellent CounterPunch anthology by becoming a member of the Friends of AK Press, something you too should consider if you're interested in cutting-edge radical thought. Exposing the corporate media as a propaganda organ of the reactionary right, "End Games" is a passionate call to democratize the news. Whether they're discussing the war on Iraq, Rupert ...

A Bush & Botox World: Travels Through Bush's America (Counterpunch)

1 review
Saul Landau

AK Press, 2007

From Botox to Reality...
When the planes hit the twin towers in New York on 9/11, I was in shock, like most people, but once I realized there was not a terrorist around every corner, or anthrax in my mailbox, I stopped checking my computer to see if we were on yellow, orange, or red (terrorist) alert and began looking into government and politics. I wanted to know the answer to that famous question, "why do they hate us ...

How the Irish Invented Slang: The Secret Language of the Crossroads (Counterpunch)

16 reviews
Daniel Cassidy

CounterPunch Books and AK Press, 2007

The Irish finally get their due and may I say it's about time.
I'm a librarian, not a linguist. In fact I didn't even buy this book. My uncle did. But once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I grew up in the Bronx, among a lot of Irish and Irish Americans (my own family among them--and believe me, they're not always the easiest people to live with!). What struck me about this book is what it says about how pieces of the Irish language found their way ...

Born Under a Bad Sky: Notes from the Dark Side of the Earth (Counterpunch)

4 reviews
Jeffrey St. Clair

AK Press, 2007

If you like Derrick Jensen, you'll love Jeffrey St. Clair...
Jeffrey St. Clair is a sane voice in a chaotic, cruel world. The most articulate, passionate writer covering environmental issues in America today, no other author matches St. Clair's deep understanding of our noxious political landscape, nor his unwavering commitment to preserving what's left of the embattled American West. He's been in the muddy trenches for decades, covering the savage ...

Dime's Worth of Difference: Beyond the Lesser of Two Evils (Counterpunch)

4 reviews

AK Press, 2004

Instructive look at how both parties suck
Jeff Taylor points out the mediocre record in the senate of Paul Wellstone, the senate's supposed leading raging liberal, and notes the rather surreal reaction of a Human Rights Campaign official after Wellstone voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. Michael Donnely has a chapter on Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, the timber industry's biggest recipient of campaign cash besides President ...

Yellowstone Drift: Floating the Past in Real Time (CounterPunch)
John Holt

AK Press, 2009

In a time when everything seems to be regulated, controlled, and monitored, Yellowstone Drift is a refreshing and often exhilarating look at the natural wonder of Montana's Yellowstone River. High above sea level in the mountains of the Yellowstone National Park plateau, the river tumbles and rushes down to the Paradise Valley just north of Livingston, Montana, before meandering through the northern high plains for well over five hundred ...

A Short History of Fear (CounterPunch)
Alexander Cockburn

AK Press, 2008

The idea that things are always getting worse, that Armageddon-in one form or another-is just around the corner, has been a common refrain since the very beginnings of Western culture. And, more often than not, the forces allegedlysending us to hell in a proverbial hand basket are shadowy conspiracies whose features are as murky as their nefarious power is supposedly Enter renegade journalist Alexander Cockburn to illuminate the darkest corners ...

The Bad Cripple (CounterPunch)
William J. Peace

AK Press, 2008

Eighteen percent of Americans-that's nearly fifty-four million-say they have some form of disability, yet this "minority" is not visible on Main Street USA. William J. Peace-author, activist, professor, and the bad cripple in question-contends that, although legislation exists, the segregation that occurs is due to the denial of these people's basic civil and human rights. Issues of accessibility could easily be solved with existing technology, ...
