Paper

CPNB

The CPNB: Collective Propaganda for the Dutch Book. It sounds like the name of a religious sect, or of some organisation from the early days of the socialist movement. But don't worry. This isn't a story about how the world can be improved through some big ideal. It's a story about how a bookshop can still have customers in ten years time. It's a story which you will find so incredible that you won't understand why your country doesn't have collective propaganda.
