Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
When asked why 90 percent of science fiction was crap, Theodore Sturgeon replied that 90 percent of everything was crap. With zines that figure probably rises to about 99.9 percent. Luckily, we have editor Chip Rowe to sift through the detritus of the zine world and distill this entertaining volume. Included are selections from such well-known zines as Beer Frame (wherein the author discovers the horrors of canned pork brains in milk gravy), Murder Can Be Fun (about the truly bizarre Boston Molasses Flood), and Rollerderby (on the brutality and sexuality of Little House on the Prairie). With over 80 selections there's something here for every maladjusted ex-teenager, from cutely benign tales of Brady Bunch fandom to recipes for making your own edible underwear.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to the world of zines, September 17, 1999
By A Customer
The Book of zines, edited by Chip Rowe, is an excellent and entertaining way to be introduced to zines. This book contains sample articles from past and current zines such as Mystery Date, Hitch, Bust, Preparation X, to name a few. There is an interview with the Pillsbury Doughboy, an analysis of Fonzie's relationship with Marion, sex eduction on vinyl, to name a few articles included in this compilation.

It also includes information on ordering zines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reading from the Fringe..., March 14, 2003
Rowe has brought together an excellent collection from the fringes. This book is entertaining and a great starting point for people interested in the idiosyncratic world of e-zines.
