New International No. 4, which has long been out of print, is scheduled for delivery May 17.
The volume contains "The Fight for a Workers and Farmers Government in the United States" by Jack Barnes and is a timely addition to the list of New Internationals available for the spring circulation drive.
Workers at the print shop are on a campaign to deliver three books a week based on shifts dedicated to Pathfinder production on the printing presses and in the shop's bindery.
The effort is aimed at eliminating by September 1 a backlog in the shop of titles produced for the first time in digital form by an international team of volunteers. The shop's effort will also make it possible to keep pace with the increased flow of titles from the volunteers.
These volunteers are in the midst of a big effort to put in digital form more than 350 titles on Pathfinder's backlist to facilitate rapid reprints.
April deliveries included two Education for Socialists bulletins on Cuba that have long been out of print: Selected Speeches of Fidel Castro and Fidel Castro on Chile.
Other titles included An Introduction to Marxist Economic Theory by Ernest Mandel, to fill an order from a university; February 1965: The Final Speeches by Malcolm X; To Speak the Truth, a collection of speeches by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara; My Life and The Revolution Betrayed by Leon Trotsky; and The Fight against Fascism in the U.S.A,, an Education for Socialists bulletin which was put back on the press within two weeks because the initial delivery sold out.
In the first two weeks of May the shop delivered Che Guevara Talks to Young People, hard cover edition; Cointelpro: The FBI's Secret War on Political Freedom; Socialism and Man in Cuba by Che Guevara, the Spanish edition.
Titles scheduled to be delivered in the third week of May are New International No. 4; Malcolm X: The Last Speeches; The Last Year of Malcolm X; and two Education for Socialist bulletins--Bolshevism and the Russian Revolution and The Revolutionary Perspective for the United States.
Fourth week: The Bolivian Diary of Ernesto Che Guevara; In Defense of Marxism, the Spanish edition; and Fidel Castro: Nothing Can Stop the Course of History.
Fifth week: American Labor Struggles 1877-1934; Fascism and Big Business; Cuba for Beginners.
Making History: Interviews with Four Generals of Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces, the hard cover edition, is scheduled for delivery in May.
In addition, the shop is also delivering this month two titles already in digital form: John Coltrane and the Jazz Revolution of the 1960s and Black Music, White Business by Frank Kofsky.
