‘The aim of the Club is a simple one: it is to help in the terribly urgent struggle for World Peace & a better social & economic order & against Fascism’
– Left Book Club leaflet, 1938
Our book for December
'Pithy and provoking, spiced with the personal but solidly grounded in a lifetime's experience. One of those valuable books that enables the reader to re-think her past and re-experience her own life'
– Hilary Mantel
For December we are delighted to bring you Respectable. Lynsey Hanley grew up part of the 'respectable working class'. At university, she discovered that social mobility is not all it seems. This book is about what it means to cross class divides, what we leave behind in order to get on, and how class affects all of us today.
Our unique editions are beautifully designed and printed on unlaminated board so no plastic is involved in the production of the book.
As featured in...
‘Terrific and timely. The relaunch of the LBC will open minds and give intellectual ballast to the wave of political change sweeping Britain and beyond’
– Jeremy Corbyn
Are you based in the EU?
Due to the fact that the UK has left the EU, we're experiencing some problems with post to the EU, especially with post to Sweden. Please be aware that if you are an EU-based subscriber, you may have to pay extra charges to receive your book. We're really sorry. This is a massive problem for many UK-based small organisations such as ourselves. If you have problems receiving your books please let us know.
