We have yet to replenish stock on “The Anarchist’s Workbench” and “The Anarchist’s Design Book” due to delays at one of our printing plants.
Both books have been delayed by several weeks but should be back in inventory the week of Nov. 16, according to our press representative. The reason the books have been delayed is complex. But if you boil it all down, big publishers need more printing capacity this fall so the small publishers get to sit on their hands.
If you are waiting for us to restock, I recommend you instead visit one of our retailers. Many of them have stock of both titles and can ship immediately.

Is the Anarchist’s Workbench available to your European retailers? I have the pdf but I am committed to getting a paper copy.
Classic Hand Tools in the UK carries it.

“…if you boil it all down, big publishers need more printing capacity this fall so the small publishers get to sit on their hands.“
One of the few moments in 2020 in which “Thanks, Obama!” is a (potentially) appropriate response to (happily temporary) misfortune!
Impressive tightrope walking, sir.
Just received my copy of The AWB from Lee Valley yesterday. I really like the size of the book, the quality of the paper, and of course the content. Once again a top quality book from LAP.
Somehow my pre-order did not ship on first batch. No worries 2nd printing will be better. I am going for the fine wine thing…
Holy cow. I am so sorry. We have a few loose copies of the first printing in my office. If you would prefer one of those, send a note to help@lostartpress.com and we will get you one.
I am in no rush as it was a USPS error. Meghan sent a very nice email response. To me… that means more than anything! #customerservice
