Errata Editions publishes books of educational and cultural value for a wide audience, with a special focus on rare photography books which are unavailable to students and new generations of photographers.

This edition presents Long Live the Glorious May Seventh Directive published in 1971 - one of the key propaganda photography books to come out of China and Chairman Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution. Illustrated with both brightly-colored and luxurious black-and-white photographs taken by uncredited photographers, this book extolls the virtues of Mao Zedong's 'May Seventh Directive' while masking the harsh realities and practices of the Cultural Revolution.
