Spaced Out
In 2041 twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson's a resident of Moon Base Alpha, and at the moment he's faced with a number of problems: coping with the nasty Sjoberg twins, finding out how the commander of the base has managed to disappear from a facility no bigger than a soccer field, and dealing with the alien Zan, who communicates with him telepathically from afar--and who's hiding a secret which may threaten the whole Earth.
John Smith
When John Smith died in May 1994 a nation mourned for an immensely popular politician who would have gone on to become a great Labour Prime Minister. Now, over ten years later, his family have granted Mark Stuart their full cooperation, and unlimited access to John Smiths private papers, to write the definitive, authorised account of his life. Stuart tells of Smith's strict Presbyterian upbringing and his youthful rebellion at Glasgow university where he started his lifelong friendship with Donald Dewer, through his stellar career at the Scottish bar and onto his political journey to become the most popular Labour leader of modern times. But the biography also reveals a darker side to personality: his heavy drinking and explosive temper which threatened to ruin his marriage. Peppered with insights and anecdotes culled from over three years of research and interviews, Mark Stuart has written the most important political biography of 2005.

Acid Communism
A short zine collecting an introduction to the concept by Matt Colquhoun that appeared in 'krisis journal for contemporary philosophy Issue 2, 2018: Marx from the Margins' and the unfinished introduction to the unfinished book on Acid Communism that Mark Fisher was working on before his death in 2017. "In this way ‘Acid’ is desire, as corrosive and denaturalising multiplicity, flowing through the multiplicities of communism itself to create alinguistic feedback loops; an ideological accelerator through which the new and previously unknown might be found in the politics we mistakenly think we already know, reinstantiating a politics to come." —Matt Colquhoun
