MONTREAL—Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible? by Mary-Alice Waters was the best seller here at the Pathfinder booth during the Salon du livre event here November 19-24. Many of the 23 copies were sold as part of a special offer with an introductory subscription to the Militant. In all 20 Militant subscriptions were sold along with 67 Pathfinder titles in French, English, and Spanish. Titles on the Cuban Revolution and by Thomas Sankara, leader of the 1983-87 popular revolution in Burkina Faso, were also among the most popular. The Salon du livre is a major annual cultural event in Quebec, open to the public and attended by tens of thousands of working people and students, as well as more than 1,000 exhibitors from the publishing industry, mostly based in Quebec.
