This is a brilliant idea for disseminating propaganda! We can’t easily go around handing out whole books and most people likely wouldn’t read them if we did. But printing out a single chapter (or even part of one) and handing it out like a leaflet is much more feasible and much more likely to get someone to actually engage with the material. And hopefully if it catches their interest they will seek out the rest of the book on their own. Did you come up with the idea yourself or is it something that a group that you are involved in does on a regular basis?
Came up with it myself, not to brag. I was using this one printer and I didn’t want to print out too much. It wasn’t that it was easier to read, just that it was easier to print. I also split the pages into four using a setting on the printer that does that.
Really, I’d take influence from some Anarchist zines (yes I know Anarchists are a bit cringe) and how they are short pamphlets, with some graphics, promoting a particular idea. They seem to know printing really well.
