And while I’m here, I highly recommend the Verso Book Club, particularly if you use an e-reader. Their least expensive tier - £8 per month in the UK - gives you every ebook they publish that month plus 50% off every website order of any physical title in their catalogue. The last two months alone have provided me with 19 new ebooks.
I love Verso and everything they represent!
#NowReading Georges Perec - The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise (Verso Books).
I’d never encountered this short work by Perec before, but it’s suffused with his typical playfulness and comic flair, while also being a prescient social commentary on the lowliness of the office worker and corporate control. Has a great foreword by Perec’s greatest translator and biographer, David Bellos.

Understanding Brecht - Walter Benjamin
My review of this beautiful little work from #versobooks I love Benjamin, he writes with such passion and grace and was taken from us far to early.
https://billsandbobs.blogspot.com/2025/01/understanding-brecht-walter-benjamin.html
Any recommendations for further books welcome, I do want to read more Brecht.
The Fire Boom | in this excerpt from Mike Davis's classic work Ecology of Fear, he explores the tinderbox of the wealthy "Los Angeles frontiers" and the massive public resources dedicated to keep it from igniting. #VersoBooks

@Longplay_Games @pluralistic also there are less-intrusive options to deter "unauthorized redistribution" like non-annoying personalization / watermarking that doesn't inhibit the use with #eBook #eReaders and -Software...
That's how #VersoBooks & #ORbooks do it...
