A Week in Review Vol. 4 Ed. 1
$5 A5 24p 53g
A Week in Review does what it says on the box. The zine is full of scratchy (in an appealing way) comics and captioned drawings that describe some of the everyday happenings of the zinester’s week, focusing on dealing with stress, work problems, trying to behave like an adult when you just feel like crying… This zine was a contribution to the Absent Zinester Table at the Snapdragon zine fair, September 2011.

(A Part of) My Life in Lists
50c A7 12p 4g
Again, it does what it says on the box! A cute little list zine by Canadian zinester MissPickle, which was sent to us for the Absent Zinester Table at the Snapdragon zine fair, September 2011.

A Fresh Trail of Paper # 2
50c A6 24p 4g
An anonymous, ambiguous little zine that recounts, in snatches, a story that might be a half remembered dream illustrated with lovely old photos of the kind you find in op-shops and the like.

Briefly, Birds
$4 A5 46p 82g
Tamara’s beautiful cycle of poems that focus on the metaphor of birds and taking flight to describe emotional, physical and spiritual growth. That sounds awfully hippy, I know, but don’t be put off: Tamara’s skill as a writer is real, and the poems in this zine – a sort of chapbook, really – are elegantly balanced between verse and prose, memories and imaginings.

Chasing Hot Air Balloons #7
$2 A5 45p 68g
Another zine that made its way to us via the Absent Zinester Table at the Snapdragon Fair, Hannah’s Chasing Hot Air Balloons is a collection of cute, silly and scribbly drawings and thoughts.

Culture Slut #24/Motor City Kitty #16
$3 A6 48p 32g
If you’ve bought zines from us before you’ll be aware that Culture Slut is a consistent favourite of ours, so we’re very glad to have a new issue in stock. Sadly for us and other admirers of Culture Slut, Amber concludes this issue with the news that she’s going to take a break from zine making, for reasons she relates in the zine. Well, at least she’s left us with a very solid zine until she (hopefully) takes to the typewriter, scissors and glue again. This issue contains a winter survival ‘to do’ list, an essay which ponders why the grunge aesthetic has made a come back (rather disturbing if you lived through it the first time round – I’m beginning to appreciate how my parent’s generation must feel whenever the 70s undergo a revival), but without the all important feminism, and much more. And of course it’s a split with another great zine, which you can read about under its respective entry in the ‘M’ section of the catalogue.

Digging
$1.50 10x10cm 32p 15g
A zine made by Emma to accompany an exhibition in June 2009. It chronicles: missing a bus, kicking a wall, crossing a field, finding some hidden artefacts and being interrupted at a secret mission by a magpie and a film crew. Basically, this is a zine about the process of thinking about and making art, and all the worrisome thoughts (along the lines of ‘why am I actually doing this?) that usually accompanies that process.

Disposable Camera – the Melbourne issue
$2.50 A6 12p plus A3 fold out 20g

Doris #23
$2 A5 32p 56g
The LMNO issue. L is for Love and Ladies Lunch; M is for Menstrual extraction; N is for Nicky; O is for Ocean. As usual, Doris is a combination of radical politics and history, personal reflections and memories about old friends, and stories from Cindy’s life that sound like wild adventures but are really probably no different to the extraordinary, everyday things that we all do.

Doris #26
$2 A5 20p 39g
The letters RST of the encyclopaedia. R is for Robin, another of Cindy’s stories about a friend which is actually a way of writing about the possibilities of change in the world. S is for Shy, a comic prompted by someone asking Cindy ‘what do you think it is to be shy in a scene that asks for punk girls to be strong and bold when some of us are just quiet and self contained?’ T is for Truth.

Emergency Poncho
$3.60 $2 A5 8p 11g Last copy – SALE
A collection of poncho related stories, reviews and observations, illustrated with drawings and poncho advertisements which all comes together to form a weird mash-up, which could be summed up as a celebration of dagginess.
