Built to Destroy Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hey all, Longtime lurker, first time poster. I wrote a book concerning the history of radical (anarchist, socialist, etc.) politics in 1980s American Hardcore Punk. It stemmed out of work I did during my Master's thesis and became a labour of love. If you've got the time/interest, please check it out. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/acracypress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 How good is it? I might be interested in picking it up after I finish the book I am currently reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built to Destroy Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 implying the author would admit it's not that good. I dig it, and the people I know that have read it have enjoyed it. It's written in an academic style, so I guess you may find it a bit try, but to each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is only about 100 pages long, so it won't be hard for even the most easily distracted to get through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 You should submit to punknews as a news story. Maybe get a review or two somewhere as well. If it gets some good feedback, I might be interested in reading eventually. I have too much on my plate to risk hours on a book that may or may not be just an A college paper.

Thanks, that's good advice. I've been bogged down with other things, but plan and ramping up promotion soon enough. In the interest of clarification, it's not a college paper, although the whole project stemmed from my Master's thesis, so I guess there is a college tie-in there. Hope you get a chance to check it out eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 There have been two very noticeable typos in your five posts. Not a good advertisement for your book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
