Strategies for Resistance. A visual documentary of subvertising, an essay against the ad-man. … it’s a KickStarter - and right in line with People First thinking.

Needless to say - I made a pledge!

@JohnPhilpin Looks like it’s probably an update with better art. I notice the “dog section press” similarity, among others.

@JohnPhilpin Here’s what they said in the Kickstarter response:

“The original version of the book, (now out of print having sold out), which was published by Dog Section Press, and then co-pulbished with Active Distribution was a shorter and UK focussed version, with colour inserts of 32 images. We're publishing an updated, rewritten, and expanded international version. This new book has been rewritten, there's now a co-author, and has had a lot of extra content added: extra case studies of US-based subvertising, has more images, plus an introduction from Josh MacPhee. It is now also full-color throughout, so the images are interspered across the book, located within the case studies they are drawn from.”
