> Tomorrow, February 1st, is opening day at "Labour's Online Bookstore",
> which is part of the Labour Movement & the Internet web site.  The URL
> is http://www.solinet.org/LEE/labour10.html .  I invite you to drop by
> for a visit.
> 
> Labour's Online Bookstore, which currently lists over 1,000 titles,
> intends to serve the labour movement around the world by offering a
> secure way to order from a wide selection books about trade unions at
> discounted prices.  This is being done in partnership with Amazon.com
> Books, the largest bookstore in the world.
> 
> The site includes a welcoming home page, a listing of brand new titles
> (January 1997 publication date), recommended titles (with some very
> brief reviews), and hundreds of currently available books as well as
> special orders.  In addition, the site includes a link to allow readers
> to recommend titles for inclusion.
> 
> Several trade union Web sites have already included links to the store,
> among these the international trade secretariat for the chemical workers
> and miners (ICEM), and the Dutch national trade union center (FNV).  I
> hope that other labour sites will also include links to the store.
> 
> The version of Labour's Online Bookstore currently on the Web is a
> working prototype -- I know that much can be added and improved.
> 
> I want to include in future versions: reviews of books, special sections
> devoted to specific subjects (for example, books on the IWW), more
> illustrations, and much better organization, particularly of the long
> lists of current and special order titles.
> 
> Let's work together and make Labour's Online Bookstore a success.  I
> look forward to reading your comments and suggestions.
