Anarres Books is a small collective based in Melbourne, Australia which supplies anarchist and other radical reading material to a local, national and international audience.
The collective has been active since 1992.
We take our collective name from the novel The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, Anarres being the name of one of the planets in her novel which is organised as an anarchist (classless, non-hierarchical) society.
We stock titles on various subjects, including art, culture, economics, education, health, history, philosophy and politics.
Most of our titles are imported from the UK and the US, and are sold at non-profit prices.
We stock many Freedom Press publications and a smaller number of titles published by AK Press, New Society Publishers and (fiction) titles from the now defunct III Publishing (1989-1999).
Our website is currently undergoing re-development. We should have the online store up and running again over October and November. Please email info[at]anarres[dot]org[dot]au for further information.
