What follows is based on the thorough work of Carl Sleinger.It is a bibliography of pamphlets published by Freedom Press between 1889 and 1923.I will add the later years in the next few weeks.Together with "Mother Earth" pamphlets and the pamphlets initiated by Benjamin Tucker published in the United States,Freedom Press pamphlets were responsible for introducing written anarchism to,initially,English speakers all over the world.A look at them might give us some clue to what people understood by anarchist communism and anarchism in that period.More on this later.Meanwhile here is the list
