We anarchists escape from the real world by looking in learned books.
Kudos to the designer of the red-black poster advertising the anarchist book fair. The three lamps top right corner identify Dublin and counterbalance the graphic of the woman reading that dominates the left side. One pedantic point however - she is a discerning reader who likes meaningful books, but can she effectively read the printed text through tinted glasses?
