Earlier this summer, From the Depths returned from an exciting, inspiring, and educational two-month tour of Europe. They brought back copies of the European pressing of their “Germinate” LP, which are now available from Stickfigure distribution.
In addition, now that the band has finally made enough money to cover the recording costs of the album, they are offering it for free downloading. Donations are still welcome to cover the costs of making this available.
“Germinate” is still available on CD via CrimethInc. Far East. From the Depths is scheduled to record another record this fall.

CrimethInc. Special Agent Nils writes from Germany to tell us about their printing of 20,000 full-colored copies of Reshape magazine, consisting largely of translated CrimethInc. writings:
Reshape magazine ready! After one year we’ve finally published a free magazine including several translations (to German) from the CrimethInc ex-Workers Collective. It contents several ”old” translations we found in the elder magazine “Interface”—but we also did some translation-work of our own and therefore have many new texts. We hope to provoke some discussions in the German leftwing, autonomus, antifa, and anarchist scenes with this publication. You can read more about our motivations in the foreword. We’ll distribute the 20,000 copies through several activist mailordesr, infoshops and in the streets. If you want to help—get in touch! Further, we have a blog that contains more translations than were included in the magazine, with more to come.

Last week we received the flawless proofs for Rolling Thunder #9, and the magazine is currently being printed up north in French Canada. It’s an excellent issue and truly bursting with content. We expect to begin shipping them out in about three weeks (March 1st)—it’s the fourth consecutive issue that will come out precisely on schedule, a goal we’ve been working hard towards achieving.
As promised, subscription copies will be the first mailed out, so if you haven’t yet subscribed, now is the time to do it—if you miss the first bulk subscription mailing, the next one won’t be until a few weeks later. NOTE: Current subscribers should email rtsubs@crimethinc.com if they have changed their address.

On January 4th the United States Postal Service is implementing yet another rate change: for those in the US, prices will remain mostly unchanged (and amazingly, in the instance of Flat-Rate Priority Mail packages, actual go down a smidge); for those outside the US however, there will be increases to the already absurdly expensive shipping fees. An average 4.1% increase across the board will mean that for Canada and Mexico flat-rate envelopes and boxes will be increasing 47¢ and 95¢ respectively to $10.87 and $25.60; for the rest of the world, flat-rate envelopes and boxes will go up 48¢ and $1.33 respectively to $12.78 and $41.28.
If you were planning to order and want to save a few dollars, the deadline for ordering with the old rates is Noon, Pacific Time, on Saturday, January 2nd. After noon, all orders will be shipped at the new rates.

It’s been a couple years since our last progress report for the CrimethInc. into Libraries program, so it seemed like a good time to do an update. All of the numbers are up an average of 43%, though we’re a little sad to see Expect Resistance so under-represented; we suspect the economic crisis—that has resulted in record-low library budgets this last year or so—might have something to do with it. Here are the current numbers:
Current Availability (click on number to see list of all libraries with book):
Days of War — 192 Libraries
Recipes for Disaster — 57 Libraries (22 here, 20 here & 15 here)
Expect Resistance — 28 Libraries
Evasion — 112 Libraries (74 here & 38 here)
Off the Map — 62 Libraries
These numbers are great, and you can be sure almost every single one of these books was the result of someone requesting the library to acquire it. Of course, there is much room for improvement, so keep up the good work folks, and don’t forget: each request makes the next request more likely to be filled, so keep at it!

The CrimethInc. Guerilla Film Series Volume One DVD set (boy, that’s a mouthful!) has new packaging! We’ve ditched the old, rickety, plastic case and now use a 100% recycled, dual-disc Digipak. It’s quite an improvement and the price is still the same old $10. Check out the new pics over on the DVD page.
PS: For those with the old version, you aren’t missing anything—there is no new content on the discs themselves.

A quick update on Rolling Thunder #8: All subscription copies were mailed out last Tuesday (the 15th) in plush envelopes (photographed here) printed just for subscriptions; some of you have already received them, the rest should arrive shortly. As a small thanks to early subscribers, all copies included one our new, fancy vinyl stickers. Also, as of the end of Friday, every order for RT#8, both individual, and in bulk, has been sent out.
And, lastly, a hearty congratulations to Ms. Stephanie of Los Angeles, who won our random subscriber drawing for a Ne Plus Ultra copy of Days of War.
One more photo of our ritzy envelopes after the jump.

As some may have noticed, Rolling Thunder #8 has not arrived on schedule. Unfortunately, the printer made an error on the cover which has resulted in a delay that is totally out of our hands. We now expect to have them to ship out by then end of this week, or early next week. Follow along on our fatuous Twitter feed.
Update: Shocking news—printer has missed yet another deadline of their own. We now expect to have them for mailing on Tuesday, the 15th. Grrrrr.

We’re about two weeks away from having Rolling Thunder #8 back from the printer and ready to ship out—right on schedule for the 3rd issue in a row. If you’d like an incredibly uninformative preview, feel free to check out our dopey twitter feed.
To celebrate our own giddy anticipation of the pending arrival, we’ve decided to spice things up by holding a drawing for one of the few remaining copies of the Ne Plus Ultra Edition of Days of War, Nights Love. To be eligible, you simply have to subscribe to Rolling Thunder by Midnight PST on the 31st of August. If you’ve already subscribed, don’t worry, you are eligible as well. The winner will be selected by a random number generator.

We’re back from our annual bookfair trip, rested and ready for Spring, and we thought we’d start with some photos from the bookfair this year. For the first time in nine years, we noticed that less people came this year than the previous year—we’re not sure what to blame, but we’d place our bet on the combo of crappy weather and Obama. At any rate, y’all can expect more frequent blog updates from us in the coming months and more content to be added to the site.
Click through to see all the photos.

Just a reminder that USPS Priority and International shipping rates are increasing somewhat dramatically in 7 days. Any orders placed after the 16th of January will have the higher shipping rates, so if you are planning on an order, it’d be best to order by the 16th.

We are pleased to now be shipping out fresh copies of Off the Map from the new sixth printing. As with previous printings, this edition has a new color ink on the inside covers, a delightful Eggplant Purple, aka Pantone 512. Otherwise, the book is identical to the last printing—in other words, a tiny, boisterous bit of narrative resplendence.

Our beautiful town of Salem may be covered in ice, and our toes might be colder than a banker’s smile, but on Monday we strapped chains to our tires and have managed to make it to the post office each day this week, and plan on continuing to do so. We know there are a bunch of you out there who might need to get some stuff for winter gifts, and if you have to bite that bullet, might as well spread some anarchist joy while doing it. All orders shipped via Priority Mail should get to their destination by the 25th as long as the orders are submitted to us by 3PM Pacific time on Saturday the 20th. Of course, the USPS doesn’t guarantee that, so the earlier you submit your order, the better. We will make sure that every Priority Mail order received before 5PM will go out on the same day—after 5PM and it will go out the next day. A couple suggestions: we find that Off the Map makes a perfect gift for just about anybody, and you can get 6 copies via Priority for $14, or for more experienced activists, it’s hard to beat a copy of Expect Resistance, of which you can get 10 copies shipped Priority for $60. Or you could just take a stand and not buy anything out of stupid, ritualistic obligation—that’s more than OK with us.

Following the trend of the last few years, the USPS is raising shipping prices yet again on January 18, 2009—just six short weeks away. US Priority Mail prices are going up 55¢ for anything but the smallest packages, an increase of 6%. But the huge increase is for international orders: a dramatic increase of 7%-10% to the already exorbitant shipping costs, adding several extra dollars to most shipments. So, if you were planning to make an order internationaly or in the US via Priority Mail, be sure to place it sooner than later. FYI, Media Mail prices in the US will remain unchanged until May 2009. USPS rate change info here.

Just a note to anyone who was hoping to one day get their hands on a copy of Rolling Thunder #3 and/or #4, we are down to about our last 50 copies of each, and there is no way they will last through the end of the year—so, if you want one, order it now, before they are gone forever. Currently they are part of the Rolling Thunder Bundle that include issues #3-#6 for $10, a bargain that will disappear once these two issues sell out.
