i like zines

My newest zine is up for sale - Oddments #4 is the Book Issue and has stuff on my favourite bookshops for old and independent books, some of my favourite book finds and tales from the visitor book we kept in our flat when bands used to stay over. Plus, for fun, there’s a pull out colour mini zine in the middle all about my Day in the Life which includes outfit drawings, doodles of everything I ate and my word of the day! I hope you like it.

You can also buy a copy in person at the Glasgow International Artists Bookfair at the Royal Concert Hall this weekend. Look out for Pushpin Zines at table 15 near the Buchanan Street entrance. I’ll have some special offers and a box full of bargain secondhand zines!

I See All is a new illustrated A-Z zine by Deth P. Sun. Also the 5 volume 1920s pictorial encyclopedia it was partly inspired by, now sitting in my house. Get your copy of the zine from Pushpin.

Sorry purists, I may also post about out of print books sometimes. This is seriously the most amazing review I have ever read. I envy this man’s turn of phrase and am so glad previous owners didn’t lose the dust jacket. Looking forward to reading the book too - Eric Linklater’s A Year of Space, basically a 1950s travelogue of the east. The chapter titles read promisingly.
