Changes at AK
This week marks a changing era for AK Press. February was Craig O’Hara’s last month at AK Press. After eleven years of toil Craig has moved on. Craig witnessed AK Press grow out of a closet in San Francisco to a 6,000 sq. ft warehouse in West Oakland, and to a new east coast branch. He saw his self-published book turn into a consistent seller as an AK Press book, eventually translated into numerous languages and reprinted often. For the past five years he’s been located in rural West Virginia, working on expanding our distribution and making contacts on the East Coast.
I’ve had my agreements and disagreements with Craig over the years, as it should be. But as Craig moves on, AK Press loses someone willing and capable of working long, hard hours with both his head and his hands—and for that he’s earned great respect in the radical community. We wish him the best of luck with all his future endeavors. Keep up with his future work here.
And while we bid Craig a fond farewell we are happy to announce that the AK Press Baltimore office is 
running strong and we’ve just bucked the economic climate by hiring Chuck Morse to work as a member of the collective. Chuck has been volunteering very closely with AK for the past seven months and will be only increasing his involvement in the months and years to come.
So as doors close new ones open, and we step boldly into the future.
