Friday calls for us to embrace snail mail and the beauty of ink and paper as a way to slow down, be creative in new and different ways, and engage more meaningfully with our friends through the process of writing physical letters on actual pieces of paper.","brand":"Microcosm Publishing \u0026 Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57784590958966,"sku":"9781648413407","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/8b39c4b70b6c7460160c91a22fb0cb8e2f36a6da799ad25c16bd246a393092b7.jpg?v=1777639118"},{"product_id":"owning-the-means-of-production-your-own-worker-co-op-zine","title":"Owning the Means of Production: Your Own Worker Co-op (Zine)","description":"Zine \/ pamphlet.
