AK Distribution is part of AKA Books Co-Operative Ltd, a workers co-operative wholly owned by its members. AK Press is the publishing arm of AK and our current titles are listed on the following pages. The AK Press International Standard Book Number prefix is 1 873176.
All the titles in the catalogue* are available both to the trade, and mail-order to individuals. While we endeavour to have all the items listed in stock at all times, we are at the mercy of our suppliers, some of whom are erratic and irregular to say the least. All prices are correct at time of going to print, though are subject to increase, especially in the case of new issues of magazines, or reprints.
As well as those titles detailed in the catalogue, we do carry the complete lists of the publishers featured - Freedom, Black Rose, South End Press, Verso, Pluto, Polygon etc. The illustrations featured throughout the catalogue are available as postcards, at 35p each. Additional images were taken from Stealworks by John Yates available from AK Press.
We aim to produce regular updates to this complete catalogue. Please ask to be put on the mailing to receive these. Anyone who makes a purchase is automatically placed on our mailing list, which is stored on a computer. If you do NOT wish to be on this list, again, please advise us each time you order from us.
If you know of anyone who would like to receive our catalogue, please send us their name and address and we will forward one.
We are always seeking new material to distribute. Please do send samples, catalogues, trade lists etc.
