Make a Zine!: When Words and Graphics Collide 160 pages, 5x7", paperback (5 oz) $7.00 $5.00

Ask anyone who works for a magazine -- it's a job. Ask anyone who works on their zine -- it's a passion. And this book is a starting point for launching your own zine. A virtually endless supply of hints makes this an indespensible guide and the appendices add extensive directories of stores, libraries, reviewers, and zine distributors. ISBN 978-1-934620-06-9

 
Good, useful information - about postal rates, printing techniques, and how to physically construct your zine, including details like getting a clean photocopy from a cut-and-paste layout that could only have come from experience. It also discusses selling and promoting your work in a way that makes these sometimes queasy-making topics feel empowering. Thorough and detailed. Read this and make a zine! Katie Haegele, La La Theory
Authoratative, without reading like a textbook. More than enough experience to backup this advice. Steven Svymbersky, Quimbys
Answers all the questions about starting up a zine project. R. Seth Friedman, Factsheet 5
Gives the best introduction to layout, typography, stats, and design I've ever seen. John Marr, Murder Can Be Fun
20 years ago, when I was young and the Soviet Union was still struggling for communism, I co-published with my friends a jazz zine. It was real SAMIZDAT -- an illegal self-published independent zine. We printed it on the electric type writer with print out of 50 copies or so. It was dangerous but it was passion. Today I am working for a popular computer magazine -- and it is just a good job, not more. So, make your zines, ladies and genlemen. And I believe computers & Internet someday destroy any ...totalitarian state. Alexander Petrochenkov
