Zines!
Vol. I and II

In the past two decades a quiet revolution has gained force: over 50,000 "zines" (independent, not-for-profit self publications) have emerged and spread--mostly through the mail, with little publicity. Flaunting off-beat interests, extreme personal revelations and social activism, zines directly counter the pseudo-communication and glossy lies of the mainstream media monopoly. These interviews capture all the excitement associated with uncensored freedom of expression, while offering insight, inspiration and delight.

Volume 2 continues the investigation with in-depth interviews with 12 more unusual publishers.

Interviews with:

• Lynn Peril -- Publisher of Mystery Date
• Al Hoff -- Publisher of Thrift SCORE
