I think that this is sad. Several years ago, Sebastian Budgen replied
testily to my complaint about these prices, and the fact that
proceedings of Historical Materialism conferences are not made available
until they are sorted, sifted and delivered upon us much later in the
form of these preciously-priced volumes, explaining in justification
that they later came out as Haymarket books at a much cheaper price
<http://www.brill.com/products/book/what-went-wrong-nicaraguan-revolution>(I
have that exchange in a file somewhere).
<http://www.brill.com/products/book/what-went-wrong-nicaraguan-revolution>He
didn't offer that this applies only to a limited proportion of the
conference proceedings and a limited number of the Brill books, and that
those that made it that far came out so much later on Haymarket as to be
several years old news. He also attributed the failure to get out
conference proceedings to limited volunteer staff. He should maybe visit
other, less exclusive venues who tape and transcribe and find volunteers
among a dedicated left to do it, including Left Forum, Democracy Now!
and The Real Network News.

Budgen also complained that I had cc'd my message to CPGB's Weekly
Worker ('of all places!'), to which I answer that theirs was the only
substantive review of the HM conference that I could find. And he said
something to the effect that I was dividing the left. So who is what?
