Greetings, friends! With the Seattle Anarchist Book Fair coming up this weekend, we wanted to offer the community a list of books that you might want to add to your wishlists.
Each of these books was given to PSJBGC members by Will Van Spronsen, a comrade and former member who died at the Northwest Detention Center.
Will is a beautiful soul who cares about justice, and that shows in his book choices.
