The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The book captures Garvey's teachings directly from a month-long intensive course he taught to his most committed followers, making it a primary source rather than a secondhand account.
- It covers a wide range of topics beyond just politics, including philosophy, spirituality, and personal character, so you get a fuller picture of Garvey's worldview.
- This is a Dover Thrift edition, which means it's a compact, affordable reprint rather than a scholarly annotated version, so there's minimal editorial apparatus or historical context added by the publisher.
As of Aug 30, the Message to the People is a good price at $6 — versus a $5.76 typical price and a $4.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
