hello folks. here is something new i am trying. i am getting in zines.
and plenty of them. i am hoping that people will be interested in
reading some, and if they are, i will make this a regular thing, maybe
bi-monthly?
for the first week, i am going to restrict people to 5 zines each.
this is because i want to encourage as many people as possible to pick
something up, because not enough people get to read zines these days i
reckon! i know some people are like zine carnivores, they'll want 1
copy of each and if i do that, that means other people won't get a
chance and won't bother ordering zines in the future. i want to avoid
that. of course, if nobody is interested after a week or so, i will
gratefully sell people as many damn zines as they want!!! :-)
for my next order, i will start taking requests. i will mail out a
link to the site i get them from and you can let me know about a
couple of zines you are interested in. i am also happy to do zine
'subscriptions', where you give me a list of ones you like and i will
order you a copy each time a new issue is out. sound cool? i hope so!
ok, here is what i have in stock... and i will throw in a free zine of
my choice with each order. how about that!
