In Support of Revolution Books
For several years, I ordered books for my courses in political science at Boston University through
Revolution Books in Cambridge. I had several reasons for doing this. I wanted to help a struggling bookstore
rather than add to the profits of the huge commercial store where my students were normally directed. And I
thought it would be more educational for my students than a traditional bookstore. It turned out to be an
excellent decision. Revolution Books was efficient in ordering books and making them available. My
students found it a fascinating experience to rummage through the unusual material they found in the store.
When I asked them at the end of the first semester, if they thought I should continue using Revolution
Books, even though it meant traveling to Cambridge instead of buying books near the campus, they
overwhelmingly said we should continue. —Howard Zinn, author, A People’s History of the United States
I have used Revolution Books in New York to order books for my classes instead of my college bookstore.
The volumes were ordered promptly, displayed prominently and the students received warm and excellent
service. My students enjoyed the opportunity to step into a bookstore where considering ideas, not making
money, is the primary focus. Also, at the start of the term we staged a class trip to the bookstore. The
students greatly enjoyed getting out of the classroom and conversing with the staff and browsing through
their collection of fascinating historical and cultural materials. It was a valuable learning experience for all
involved. –Dr. Arthur Lewin, Black and Hispanic Studies Department, Baruch College CUNY
