This is a Blog and Web site on a mission — to give libraries the earliest information possible on the books their customers will be looking for, so they can stay ahead of demand.
Suppose someone took every meaningful detail from all the books you love. Every song mentioned, every person, every food or place or movie title. And what if they did that for all the books everyone else loves, too. The ones you’ve never heard of. Suddenly you’ve got a whole world of seemingly random people, places and things, all gathered in one place.
Alternatives in Print is an online directory of alternative periodicals and book publishers, "alternative" in this case referring to literature that is outside the mainstream, politically-oriented, and in some sense rooted in the Left.
