About this title

Review:

""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."

Synopsis:

An important volume in the burgeoning world of underground media, this volume chronicles the year's best of independent publishing and zines, bringing otherwise marginalised voices to the international sphere. The seventh annual compilation of the year's best in underground publishing, the ZINE YEARBOOK continues to stand as an important volume in the burgeoning world of underground media. Xeroxed and painstakingly stapled or offset printed, 50,000 zines are produced each year in the U.S. alone, by everyone from sixteen-year-old suburban girls to fifty-year-old political prisoners. Breaking down international barriers, as well as the confines of race, class and gender, zines have become a thriving underground movement based on personal empowerment and the challenge to mainstream media.
