Hook's 'From Hegel to Marx: Studies in the Intellectual Development of
Karl Marx' is published by Columbia University Press (1994). I must say
the Mattick sounds intriguing. I think he also wrote a critique of
Marcuse which I've never been able to find. The British Library used to
have all of the original Living Marxism that Mattick edited.
