Art/Works - American Labor Graphics
Lincoln Cushing and Timothy W. Drescher
to be published by Cornell University Press in 2008
http://www.docspopuli.org/ArtWorks.html
READ about this upcoming book at the URL above. Note the following, however --
...unlike almost every other full color art book published these days,
at the authors' request this will be printed at a North American union shop.. http://www.docspopuli.org/articles/UnionLabels/Use_the_union_label.html
In order to keep this book affordable (expected retail price should be around $25) so it gets into the hands of the working people that will appreciate it most, Cornell University Press needs a subsidy (known in the publishing industry as "subvention") of $20,000. The Fund for Labor Culture and History has graciously agreed to serve as nonprofit fiscal agent.
We need your help to spread the word about this project and to raise the subvention funds. Please ask your union local, international, or labor-support organization to help us bring these important works before the public by contributing to the fundraising or placing advance bulk orders. All donations are tax-deductible please make checks out to "Art/Works c/o Fund for Labor Culture and History."
Thank you.
In solidarity,
