Administrative / Biographical History

The socialist bookshop Bookmarks was based at 265 Seven Sisters Road, Finsbury Park, North London. The Bookmarks Publishing Co-operative was established in 1979 to publish books and pamphlets by members of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) - individuals loaned money to the co-operative, repayable at a month's notice, and in return received free copies of all books published. The organisation is no longer trading.
