It was nice to see some of the old zine names again. I was a little disappointed that a short review of each zine mentioned was not given except for the really big name ones. However, those of us who were around and writing for and/or publishing at that time will definiately enjoy seeing old friends again. I would like to have seen the years split up into two volumes and more details given for each zine and whether they are still publishing or not. However, Verba is a good writer and covers alot of material. It's sorta like putting a tidal wave in an empty bath tub, hard to do, but squeeze more in anyway. It is a wealth of information that can be used by all and a book worth reading.
For Trek fans, it is a good reference guide to have all the zine names at your finger tips. It would also be helpful in buying zines at conventions, and filling in missing ones in ones' own collection.
