Flip-Through: Three Zines Worth Holding

Some zines are best understood in the hand. We filmed a flip-through, but the lighting was terrible, so here is a trailer instead while we reshoot.

Everything reviewed here arrived in the mail or was traded at a table. We don't do star ratings; we do honest notes about what each zine is trying to do and whether it gets there.

If you want your zine reviewed, send it to the address on the contact page. We read everything, even the ones stapled in the wrong corner.

    I have never thought about paper weight this much and now I can’t stop.

    Thank you for writing this down. It’s the kind of thing people only ever explain in person.

    I laughed out loud at the part about the good scissors.

    The photos are great. Is that the laundromat on Elm?

    We tried this at our library print night and it worked first time.

    Our copier has the same mood swings. Humidity is the enemy.
