Lightly cleaned these and combined them into one smaller file.

Thanks Lurdan, that is a lot better! I am trying to upload it here but keep getting a "validation error" so possibly it is still too large at 33megs for Libcom...

Curses. I've squeezed it a bit more (there is a slight trade off of course). 24.5MB.

(Catbox's main page seems to be down today so that's a pixeldrain link which will expire in a few weeks).

For future reference what is the maximum file size?

An excellent book. Helped me with my class struggle understanding and early on maturing political development.

While largely "councilist" in orientation (which I'm not, not in the formal sense at least), the critiques and possibilities were enlightening to this then late teen, near 20 year old (when the book was published in 1975).

Thanks! I’ll check that tomorrow. I think it’s 25megs so that should be ok. Not sure why that is.

I might start a geek thread about PDFs and what can be done with them too - it would be good to pick your brains.

Great stuff! If the single PDF is still too big, you can just split it into multiple PDFs just by putting the first half in one and the 2nd half in another, using a website like this: https://smallpdf.com/split-pdf
