Radical Independent Book fair - 16th december event

...self-organised bi-monthly events, bringing regular access to
independent & radical publishers / producers back to Glasgow...

the Radical Independent Book fair project...

Within Britain, Scotland and specifically Glasgow there are fewer and
fewer outlets for independent and radical materials. Corporate bookshops
rule the roost and offer little in the way of counter culture, radical
voices or local independent materials. The Radical Independent Book fair
project (RIB) has come about to help redress this imbalance... RIB is a
collection of individuals and groups who produce publications,
information and materials for sale, view and free distribution. The
project is self-financed by the participants, no public or corporate
monies are involved, no one takes a wage, it is not party politically
aligned and is autonomous from other organisations. The project is not
just an occasional bookshop and travelling bookstall... it is also a
temporary library, a videotheque, a meeting point for distribution,
discussion and ideas, as well as a place to come and have a blether.
