They also carry books without explicit political content particularly in our used book section which includes hundreds of previously loved books donated by Pittsburghers. They also carry patches stickers posters locally made bags T shirts and music. All products have an independent or do it yourself slant. They also distribute free literature most of which pertains to local community organizations events and projects. They choose our suppliers based on organizational structure (primarily collectives cooperatives and independent publishers). Frequently they accept consignments from local writers artists and activists. They are a collectively run not for profit non capitalist establishment.
