SALE THIS WEEK WEDNESDAY-SUNDAY
Internationalist Books will be having a sale this week!  From tomorrow,  
Wednesday September 15 through Sunday the 19th, you can take advantage  
our squirrel-like tendencies to keep books and magazines stashed away  
on the darkest storage shelves as we pull it all out and pile it all up  
for you to buy cheap.  Donations are always welcome, but please  
consider the quality and saleability of books before you start pulling  
the moldy horror novels out of the back of the garage!

BOOK CLUB: What's The Matter With Kansas: How Conservatives Won the  
Heart of America by Thomas Frank
Announcing our next book club title, by Kansas native Thomas Frank,  
founding editor of The Baffler and a contributor to The Nation and  
Harper's magazines.  Frank examines the "thiry-year backlash" of  
conservative populist revolt against the "liberal" establishment.  How  
did the Republican Party build an alliance between blue-collar  
Midwesterners and Wall Street corporate interests?  We'll be discussing  
the book in depth at an Internationalist Book Club meeting on October
