I'm Really Happy With This
I'm glad I ordered this book. It showed up in good condition and the font size is very readable. The cover looks nice and I liked the message inside that talks about how it's published basically for the sake of the people and at cost. It doesn't yield any profits and in turn makes the book a lot more accessible for people like me. I feel that this is an extremely important book and a good starting point for many to take in these ideas. I have no complaints. Thank you to whoever is self-publishing this. I would purchase this again.I will update my review if I come across any strange anomalies in the text (things like upside down letters, missing words/sentences, that kind of thing).5 stars

Should Read
There’s plenty of other sources for you to read about the content of this book. It’s enlightening and I do believe it’s an important read for ANYBODY. The book itself had a few typos, but they did not hinder my understanding of the content. I think the $6 price tag is worth it, it’s accessible and well printed/bound that it will last for a long time in your library.

Will wear this out re-reading it. Will buy copies to loan or give to friends. Society needs this.
This book is amazing, just uninterrupted truthiness from beginning to end. Beautiful social and political vision, clarity of thought, and accessible language. Later Kropotkin failed in supporting WWI, but the Bread Book era of Kropotkin is peak Kropotkin, top of his form.The seller apparently on-demand prints these and sells them at cost, because of his beliefs. Kropotkin would be pleased. Mine had a print date like 2 days before it was delivered to me.

Beautiful and great quality
I recently listened to The Conquest of Bread as an audio book and really wanted a physical copy to study in depth. This version is very high quality for the low price. The cover has a lovely, almost velvety texture and the font is large enough to be comfortable for reading. This is a good introduction to Anarchist Communism. It is beautifully and intelligently written and still relevant today although it was written over 100 years ago. It filled me with a sense of hope that we can achieve a better world, that things don't have to be as they are now. Everyone should read this book!

amazing.
Peter Kropotkin is an amazing thinker and this book was a must have for me. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't appear to have a table of contents, which could have been quite useful. Thankfully, it's easy to find a table of contents online, although I don't know if the page numbers would be the same as on the actual copy.

Wonderful read
This is by far the best, most influential book I have ever read. It gives you a fantastic new world view and socioeconomical and political perspective. The seller makes no profit off the book, as it all goes to printing and other costs of distribution, so you wont find a cheaper copy. It's cheap enough to buy 5 of them and give them to your friends and family as gifts.

A must for left-wing anarchists
There is some debate in the anarchist sphere as to which book is the best for an introduction to anarcho-communism. Anarchy by Malatesta and Now and After by Berkman come to mind, but Kropotkin's Conquest of Bread is still a contender. It's not the most simple to read, but it is still the most thorough and explanatory and it comes from the OG himself. If you are an anarchist or interested in anarchist thought, get this book.

Really nice print copy
This is a really nice legit copy of the book. I figure if you are reading this you already kind of know what the book is about and all that. I just want to say this print to order copy of the book is really nice and legit. Something like you would find from Verso books I have written by Che Guevara and Bernie Sanders. The type that folds at the front cover and not at the spine. High quality and of course an important text to read during these times we are going through. My copy says it was printed on the 3rd of April and it's the 7th now and I have the book it's awesome! Thanks!

Take this in memory of me.
How sad it is that such great well-meaning thoughts are now so ridiculed. The world has never been more rich and yet the many are still starving at the rich mans table.
