Customer Reviews

Am I allowed to say that this book really blows?

This tedious wide-eyed look at zines presents a nominal how-to course, but there's nothing in this book that you couldn't pick up in a half-hour conversation with anyone who does a zine, or just from sending for a copy of a good zine. Utterly lame. Am I allowed to say that this book really blows?

A great guide for ambitious zinesters

This book is great for those who want to create the next _Rolling Stone_ or _Factsheet Five_, but for those who have smaller ambitions (Or smaller budgets) the tips in here tend to aim a bit high. However, most of the information is revelant to anyone wishing to create a zine.
