Going live with the new software

The migration to the new software appears to have gone (surprisingly) smoothly. We started receiving orders with the new system before we even announced it. Things working is good.

We have also starting carrying a couple of things that we are happy about. The new Abolishing Borders from Below, the new “provo” book (from Autonomedia), the book from the Surveillance Camera Players, and these sweet buttons from IEF all make me happy.

Mail-order is exhausting. Don’t try this at home.

Announcing Little Black Cart 2.0

Just four months after the launch of Little Black Cart 1.0 we are happy to announce the launch of Little Black Cart 2.0!

Little Black Cart is a great way to find hard-to-find anarchist (and nearly anarchist) material. We make interesting, provocative, and useful ideas easier to find for non-anarchists and anarchists alike, making them easily available so that they can find broader appeal. These products have exposed us to the idea that a different way of being is imaginable, is possible, and we think that possibility is worth sharing with everyone.

In four months we have nearly doubled our number of anti-authoritarian publishers. We support these publishers by providing an easy-to-use way for people to access their products. We believe that our publishers all offer important contributions to understanding and challenging the existing order.

Technical problems have encouraged us to find a new and better software solution for the website. LBC 2.0 represents the activation of this new backend.
This particularly affects our international visitors since, up till now, they been unable to use Little Black Cart. Additionally LBC can now do some basic things that were missing before, gift certificates and system stability first among them. We can now accept Paypal (yuck) through the site itself. The site is also now cleaner and works better.

The last four months have been very exciting for Little Black Cart. We launched the site and have successfully tabled anarchist material from Victoria to Baltimore and from Vermont to Berkeley. We look forward to the next four months of bringing the best of anarchist literature to a town near you.
