About company
The Big Idea specializes in radical and progressive literature that is difficult to find in Pittsburgh. Our focus is on progressive politics, independent publishing and culture, queer politics, feminism, labor, ecology, racial politics, history, sustainability and cooperation. We also carry books without explicit political content, particularly in our used book section, which includes hundreds of previously loved books donated by Pittsburghers. We also carry patches, stickers, posters, locally made bags, T-shirts, and music. All products have an independent or do-it-yourself slant. We also distribute free literature, most of which pertains to local community organizations, events, and projects. We choose our suppliers based on organizational structure (primarily collectives, cooperatives, and independent publishers). Frequently, we accept consignments from local writers, artists, and activists. We are a collectively run, not-for-profit, non-capitalist establishment.
