In London, the good people at the 56a Infoshop have released “Everyone To The Streets: Communiques and Texts from the Streets and Occupations”. The book is 150 pages long (!) and contains an introduction by the 56a collective, two chronologies from Athens and Thessaloniki, 15+ texts and communiques from the streets and occupations plus analysis from Greek group TPTG and afterword. It costs £5 and is available from 56a Infoshop, 56 Crampton St, London SE17 3AE UK (opening hours Wed 3-7, Thu 2-8, Fri 3-7 and Sat 2-6pm.

Meanwhile, some good people on the other side of the Pond have also put out an excellent publication: “A day when Nothing is Certain” also contains a collection of texts and analyses from the December uprising. A hard copy of the booklet is making its way around the US – a .pdf version of it is available to download here – and here is a link to a print-ready version.
