A Poor Man's Guide to the Revolt of 1381
This title was published to coincide with the 600th anniversary of the Peasants' Revolt. Amazon indicates the book was published in January 1970. Carr didn't report in his History of the QTP how many impressions he had published.
There is a copy of this small book in the Université Charles de Gaulle, Villeneuve, France. There are copies of this title in Bishopsgate Library and a copy of the same title, size and number of pages published by the Worker Press, Huddersfield, in the Senate House Library in London, so possibly mis-catalogued.

Notes: This may not be different from the second impression, but two versions with different stickers over the original address have been seen (see below). These were added to impressions sold by Carr from his address in Kettering, presumably after Carr had died and his son, Robert, took over the Quince Tree Press and sold remainders from his address.
