Advance Praise for this volume of the Yearbook "The Zine Yearbook is like no other publication
I know. It is unique, and vastly entertaining" "Zines have the tang of truth about them. They're unabashedly
passionate and sell nothing but ideas, whether the topic is autobiographical,
political, or cultural-- and no matter that they're often roughly
edited, if at all. Thanks to Jen Angel and Jason Kucsma, some of
the best zine writing and graphics have been culled annually now
for seven years. Their Zine Yearbook is both an interestingly
diverse sampler of the real alternative press (read "non-commercial,
heterodox, irregular, and independent") and a fruitful entry
into a world where "publish it ourselves" makes perfect
sense" "If you have friends, acquaintances, or family who don't
get the whole 'zine thing,' this is the book you want to leave on
top of your unplugged TV set...This book is fun, exciting, eye-opening,
important… You have no excuse for not ordering a copy, now." "After all those terrible 'inside the zine world' kind
of books have long since disappeared into remainder table limbo,
The Zine Yearbook gives us a clear glimpse of what is really
going on in the world of zines by showing us, through excerpts from
various fanzines, that all over the world people are taking over
the mans of production and glutting the market with reams of photocopies
musings.. If you've got any interest in exploring the best that
not for profit independent publishing has to offer, you should already
own this." More Information about the Zine Yearbook Series The Zine Yearbook is yearly anthology of small press writing. Each edition is a collection of excerpts from publications printed in a certain year with circulations of less than 5,000 copies per issue. There are thousands of small press, independent zines in publication today, and the Zine Yearbook seeks both to document these efforts and to provide some well-deserved visibility and recognition to people who make the zine world the vibrant community that it is. Where most books on zines seek to categorize, label, and analyze the small publishing revolution, this series simply lets you decide for yourself by providing real excerpts from current publications. This book also serves as a great introduction for anyone looking for a place to get a foothold in the vast zine world. Contact information is provided for all zines included as well as an extensive honorable mentions section. |
