Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2001

Zines are the maverick inhabitants of publishing's Wild West, where the obsessional, the idiosyncratic and the wilfully obscure roam free across pages unbounded by the constraints of mainstream agendas. This book offers a highly-visual analysis of this phenomenon, assembled with expert fanaticism by the team of Pop theorists who created Highflyers and Scrawl. It showcases a huge, international range of current zines, put into context by historical examples from the hoardings of die-hard collectors. Graphic devices and macro photography inject the reader straight into the world of each, with thorough dissections of their format, writing and visual content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy, November 26, 2002

fern jackson (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zines (Hardcover)

There are a lot of zine books out there that focus on words, but Zines is a bona fide "art" book -- courtesy of images from all kinds of zines. Really lovely and thought provoking.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Zines (Hardcover)

This really is a great looking book, but the info supplied is minimal. It would have been nice if the author had supplied a bit more information about what we're looking at in each spread.
