Volumes 1 and 2 of An Anarchist FAQ are now both in print. Volume 1 was published by AK Press in 2008 while volume 2 was published in 2012.

We would urge you to buy direct from AK Press or from your local radical bookshop rather than a corporate bookshop, for obvious reasons.

Both volumes are available from AK Press in America and in the UK:

The published version does not contain everything from An Anarchist FAQ webpage. The book version contains the following:

Volume 1

• An Anarchist FAQ: After 10 years
• Introduction
• Introduction to Volume 1
• Section A: What is Anarchism?
• Section B: Why do anarchists oppose the current system?
• Section C: What are the myths of capitalist economics?
• Section D: How do statism and capitalism affect society?
• Section E: What do anarchists think causes ecological problems?
• Section F: Is "anarcho"-capitalism a type of anarchism?
• Appendix: The Symbols of Anarchy

Volume 2

• Introduction to Volume 2
• Section G: Is individualist anarchism capitalistic?
• Section H: Why do anarchists oppose state socialism?
• Section I: What would an anarchist society look like?
• Section J: What do anarchists do?
• Bibliography

It must also be noted that the sections within this volume have been slightly edited to ensure that it approximates volume 1 in size. This has involved trimming around a tenth of the material. In addition, the published bibliography only lists works that are in the print version.
