Talk:AK Press

message: "Some have criticized AK Press for it's Barnes and Noble-like effect on the radical publishing scene. Because they have such a large catalogue, as well as low prices and global distribution range, some radical publishers have suffered financial losses as well as closures."
Could someone provide a link to such criticisms? I usually see praise for Ak Press in radical circles, and besides, most of their distro is through other publishers so they're helping them really...But it is a good point, would just like to actually see it made, or proof that the "financial losses" are the fault of AK Press --Tothebarricades.tk 22:55, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

text: I've removed the statements quoted above. If someone wants to reference exactly who is doing the criticizing and what, if any, radical publishers have suffered because of AK feel free to put it back in. --Bk0 04:59, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  I agree- despite my comment above I have a fair few dealings with AK, and though they could be a bit quicker re. paying their creditors thay are doing a sttirling job considering there are only 2 of them as full time workers on the UK side of operations. I ceratinly don't think they are setting out to monopolise the alternative publishing scene, they just happen to be good at what thye do, and I've always found them supportive of my own publishing venture, cheers quercus robur 23:43, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: "Barnes and Noble" comment

message: I removed this from the introductory text: "It was founded by one time punk rocker Ramsey Kanann with money from his wealthy parents in a plush 3-bedroom flat in Edinburgh's leafy Newington district. The one-time member of Scots punks Oi Polloi still retains links with the Scottish capital despite residing full-time in California."  Maybe it's true, but there's no citation, and it's probably not the best place for it anyways.  Ideas? Wyatt Riot 23:31, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I always assumed it was a reference to the AK-47. That's just a guess on my part. --Bk0 (Talk) 23:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
