Re: [xmca] Classics in Activity Theory

["Bruce Robinson" <bruce@brucerob.eu>]

Thanks, Andy. I think I have acquired all of the Ilyenkov texts through 
obsessive rummaging in secondhand bookshops over the years (perhaps they're 
easier to find in the UK?) but I'd definitely like the others.

Is MIA only selling books by mail order or are you aiming to get them into 
bookshops too? Left bookshops have virtually disappeared here but I'm sure 
you'd find some outlets.
