The completion of Scan2000 releases their labor power and skills for formatting and other work. Having achieved this milestone this volunteer brigade is setting its sights on the next one. In the same month that Scan2000 was brought home the "digitizers" turned over 8 complete books - a huge step towards their aim of producing 10 a month, and grounds for confidence they will make it.

This work represents an immense contribution of time, energy, and funds. It is driven by the political commitment and confidence of the individuals involved. They know deeply the irreplaceable value of the titles that Pathfinder produces and will produce as coming revolutionary struggles provide their own political and literacy acquisitions.

This is ongoing, long-term work of immense value to socialist workers around the world. As the garment workers and coal miners point out, the historic lessons of the struggles of working people contained in Pathfinder titles are an essential component of forging a communist leadership out of the struggles of worker and farmers.

Ensuring the continued and expanded distribution of these books for fighters around the world who want to discover the real history of the modern working-class movement and its communist vanguard is the goal of the Pathfinder volunteers. Their political consciousness, organization, and determination to make sure those who want to educate themselves to be prepared for the struggles of today and tomorrow can find the historical record distilled in the books and pamphlets published by Pathfinder Press is a real example to fighters everywhere.

We encourage any readers who feel they can contribute to this project in any way to contact the organizers, listed at the end of the news article starting on page one.
