Crass: A Pictorial History, a detail from the front cover

ONE LITTLE INDEPENDENT are printing a second run of the book Crass: A Pictorial History after the first limited edition quickly sold out.

The first edition of the book was published back in April 2024, accompanied by a series of promotional events at which Penny Rimbaud, Steve Ignorant and Gee Vaucher spoke.

Copies of the second printing will be made available from 1 September 2024, and are available for pre-order from the One Little Independent site.

After working on this book, on and off for over 30 years, trying to gather and piece together the Crass jigsaw puzzle, it finally became time to say ‘it’s finished’.

Of course in this particular case this ‘finished’ means ‘not finished’ and it will be left to the viewer to correct all the mistakes you will undoubtedly find.

Even so, we hope you will find this book of interest, if not an inspiration to fight on.

Like the book, finding peace is never finished and the injustices to each other rage on and on.

Thanks to all of you who contributed, dug deep and found all the bits you could find from the day, they are now given back to you in this book. Sadly over the 30 years, the names of so many of you have been lost, but your contribution and generosity has not.
