ORGANIZING IN CYBERSPACE: ANNOUNCING LEFTBOOKS.COM!
There is a new Web site where books and videos from the International Action Center can be purchased on the Internet. Leftbooks.com is a place where progressive books, videos and gifts can be ordered.
Leftbooks.com is a Web site that, like some of the most well-known on-line books stores, can accept credit cards for payment.
"Now progressive people can go to leftbooks.com and purchase the books they want at a discount without waiting six or more weeks," said Deirdre Sinnott, the web site’s creator. The big book sellers on the Internet like amazon.com, bn.com and borders.com refuse to stock these titles and when they do sell them they make customers wait as long as two months or more to receive their order.
"The IAC book ‘NATO in the Balkans: Voices of Opposition’ was the only book that explained the history of U.S. and German intervention in Yugoslavia and the root causes of the civil war that has devastated so much of Yugoslavia. But you couldn’t buy that book from Barnes and Noble while Amazon and Borders refuse to stock it, making you wait six weeks for delivery. Now that book, and many others, can be ordered with the click of a mouse and delivery is right away," Sinnott said.
"Every week we are adding new materials that can be used as tools for the struggle. Right now we are ready to ship the books that the IAC has published. Plus we have videos that have told the world the truth about the U.S. bombing of the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in the Sudan or the terrible price of the U.S./UN sanctions against Iraq," continued Sinnott.
"If there is anyone who hasn’t gotten these materials or if you want to give a friend or family member some thing progressive to help them understand some of the most important issues of the day, come to leftbooks.com."
Two new books—"A Voice from Harper’s Ferry" by Osborne P. Anderson, a Black revolutionary who was there and "Market Elections: How Democracy Serves the Rich"—are both available to purchase at leftbooks.com. "All orders will be shipped out in 48 hours and we can even gift wrap and send the book, video, or Peace for Cuba Calendar 2000 wherever you want. We can even handle international orders," said Sinnott.
"People have asked me if the name leftbooks.com stands for ‘left-wing.’ I say, you’re damn right it does."
