Since Jerry no longer celebrates birthdays he has 364 unbirthdays to celebrate every year. He will have several to celebrate this week, except for the 22nd. And you can celebrate your unbirthdays with him by getting some of the great new books we have just received!
 For example, we just received some rare books from 94-year-old Mary Leue, founder of Albany's Free School. Mary, Jerry, and Nat Needle started a publication called SKOLE in the 1980's. The purpose was the get away from having famous writers write about us, but rather to produce our own grassroots, on the ground stories of what we were actually doing. These accounts are priceless and were compiled by Mary into a series called Challenging the Giant. There are four volumes of Challenging the Giant and currently we're only offering volume one individually and the complete set of four. Mary then published, Real Schools: In Their Own Words, Real Teachers, Real Teaching: In Their Own Words, and Turning the Titanic: Forty Years of Living in School and Community. For the first time in several years we now have some copies of these and we don't know if there will any more available once these are gone.
"Mary Leue has been a countercultural leader since she founded the Albany Free School in 1969. It was a place, a community, for questioning the basic practices of modern American culture, not only education but childbirth, nutrition, race and class privilege, consumerism, and human relations. Mary wrote frequently and passionately about her search for a more natural, democratic, and fulfilling way of living. She integrated ideas from many sources, particularly radical psychologists and social critics. Many of her best writings are brought back to life in this volume."
We also just received three brand new books, the first of which features a chapter by Jerry Mintz:
