Zines! - V. Vale

nThis is the first comprehensive guidebook to the Zine Movement of nself-publishing which started anew in the early 1990s, and continues nwith Internet blogs and publications like Found. Used in college nclasses, this how-to volume covers all aspects of self-publishing, nincluding layout and design, promotion, marketing and distribution. nHistorical background covers everything from Benjamin Franklin's Poor nRichard's Almanack to the science-fiction mimeographed zines of the 20s. n Zines are independent, not-for-profit publications that counter the ncorporate monoculture of mainstream media, and are thus instrumental in nkeeping the torch of liberty and freethinking burning. Some very funny nstories and illustrations punctuate this alternative-culture document nfrom the underground.
