Syntactic Analyses series

“ … the difference between ideal and real is a matter of punctuation and diction.”
[from the introduction to Common Knowledge 9:3 (Fall 2003)]

Conceived in the waning years of the last century, produced as a one-off for an exhibition in 2004, and now republished as a new open-edition set, Syntactic Analyses is modelled on ‘great-books’ series such as the Everyman’s Library. One hundred volumes of must read books, primarily covering political thought, philosophy, and history. And now available to you as a complete set (inquire for pricing) or as individual titles (direct from the online printer only, see here for details). And, of course, by direct download if that’s your preference.
