North Star: A Memoir by Peter Camejo

Haymarket Books will be publishing Peter's memoir in February 2010. It
is already available for pre-order on Amazon.

Some friends have kindly suggested that since Alex sells books, they
would like to buy it from him. Many thanks, but I don't really sell new
books. It's impossible to compete with Amazon in that field. There are
some older books of Peter's that are available, and there is a special
offer on those further down.

Please do ask your local bookstore to carry this title. That will help
the wider distribution of Peter's book.

*DVD of the Memorial
*
*
*
The DVD of the Memorial is available. It is in three high quality dvd's.
We had thought that we might edit it, but that project was too time
consuming.

Those that would like a copy should contact Peter's brother, Dan Ratner, at

peterdvd at lovetohack.org

and he will give you further details. The dvd's will be essentially at
cost plus shipping, but the cost depends on how many people want the dvd
set. Because of the high quality, depending on the number of requests,
they may have to be commercially copied.

If you're interested in the dvd set, please let Dan know as soon as
possible.

*More books by Peter

*Here are three books by Peter that were made available at the Memorial.
We'd like to offer them here at the special price of $5.00 each, for
those of you who were unable to attend the Memorial or who neglected to
get the books there. Shipping will be a total of $3.00, no matter how
many you buy.

We have larger quantities of some. For those who can use a quantity in
their political work, please let me know. We would like these books to
get out, and as you know political books often lose their topicality
after a while.

Articles on the Memorial and on Peter

I am just realizing that we never sent out a report on the Memorial for
those of you that couldn't attend. Both the Memorial and the social
afterward were very well attended. Rather than doing something now, I
will offer some links to articles on the Memorial and on Peter. There
were of course many more.

*Pictures of the Memorial

Some of you that were able to attend the Memorial for Peter took
pictures there. We were unable to take any, and would love to have some.
If you'd like to share, please send them to

achis at igc.org

Thanks!

*Facebook

Having recently joined Facebook, it looks like this may be another way
to spread the word about Peter's book. However we have very few Facebook
friends. But some of you have more friends there than the number of
people on this list! If you think it appropriate, please let your
friends know about Peter's memoir. If you want a link, this message will
also be posted to the blog we started for Peter, link below. Although
the blog too won't continue, it will be up for a while, so that those
who would like to share a link, or those who lose this email message,
will have something to refer to.
