Er is een reader gemaakt met (Engelstalige) teksten over de milsukte WTO-conferentie. De teksten zijn van zeer uiteenlopende afkomst maar hebben gemeenschappelijk dat ze pogen uit te leggen wat de oorzaken zijn van de mislukking. Bovendien zijn veel auteurs tamelijk tevreden met het feit dát het een misbaksel werd. Vandaar de titel, naar, en in memoriam, Ian Dury: Reasons to be cheerful, part 1

De reader telt ruim 80 pagina’s en de (on)kostprijs is 5 euro (inclusief porto 6,88). Boekhandels en grootverbruikers betalen 3,50 per stuk. U kunt de reader ook bij XminY bestellen door het benodigde bedrag over te maken op gironummer 609060 van XminY ovv. ‘Reader Cancun’.
