The 5th Edition of the Alternative Work Catalogue now has over 350 books selected to help job searchers, students, career changers, community workers and others to investigate, plan, and fine tune their ideas and ventures. The books focus on creativity and independence, self-employment and initiative, earning less but living more, the integration of community and work.

The catalogue is a project of The Working Centre - a community-based resource centre that seeks to give individuals and groups access to tools and opportunities to become involved in the building of community. Some of our projects are described on page 23 of this catalogue. All proceeds from this catalogue are used to support Working Centre projects.
