The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

Why not test yourself on your labour movement history next time you challenge your friends to a card game? Our pack of International Labour Movement poker playing cards picks out larger-than-life characters from the past (mostly) such as George Loveless (Tolpuddle Martyr), Ken Saro-Wiwa (Nigerian environmental activist), Louis Delescluze (military commander of the Paris Commune), and Ellen Wilkinson (women’s rights pioneer), divided into the following categories:

Diamonds: Philosophers

Clubs: Trade Unionists

Hearts: Politicians

Spades: Activists

Jokers: Fictional Labour Heroes (taken from two great radical writers, and definitely to be taken seriously!)

Pack includes 2 extra cards with an index of the four suits.
