New Issue Announcement thread!

[Andrew Culture]

I know we're all going to do it, so I guess we could keep it neat and tidy by putting it all in one thread. So here goes, JUST post about your new issue in this thread, don't discuss or reply, that way new members can easily see what output we're all responsible for!

It's $3 shipped, +$1 for copies shipped outside the United States. There's some samples and ordering info on the website: http://conciselymagazine.blogspot.com/. Submissions are also be collected for the second issue, though people should understand that it's being approached with a traditional magazine approach of only accepting a portion of what's sent in.

Hi all!!

They're not exactly new, but the selling of those zines may help in the making of my new issue of Arcane #4. There is a zine and crafts fair here in Québec on December 19 and I'really want to have it out for this, but I'm very broke (and looking for jobs, but even if I started working NOW, I wouldnt get paid soon enough!!) so if you are interested and can afford a 'buy', here is what I have available: (I love trades and will be up to do some after the holidays when I have been working a bit and I can buy stamps & stuff!!)

I have a few issues left of "Girl w/Cat" #1. The premiere issue chronicles the loss of my cat Malenikiy, who died accidentally in April 2004. The zine was done in 2006. It is in the form of a funeral prayer, with chapters: Dies Irae, Lacrmosa, Calamitatis et Miseriae, Libera Me, Requiem Aeternam (those are latin words actually used in funerals). It has photos, some song lyrics, and a lot of deep-felt writing about the grief, remembrance and recovery. I have THREE copies left!! So please send me a message here before ordering, to make sure you get your copy :)
It's 40 pages, 1/2 letter - Canada-US: 4$, International 5$, postpaid.

I got 6 issues of "Orange & Blue" #0. Even though "Orange & Blue" is out of print, the intro issue #0 is more like an introduction to my world, so it is still relevant. I give a glimpse into what it is to be a minority who speaks french everyday in the mostly anglophone world of zines and the dilemmas and choices you have to make in this perspective. It also presents many aspects of my town, Québec City/Lévis (on the south shore), my neighbourhood, my friends,my everyday life, cassette tape recording, diary writing,some Québec facts. It has nice "carbon paper" illustrations that I traced onto the pages of text. It was very well-liked when it came out in 2005! I have SIX copies left. All the text is typewritten.
It's 36 pages, 1/2 letter - Canada-US: 4$, International 5$, postpaid.

Arcane Magazine is a french-language zine from Québec City.

Of course if you order many zines the postage costs will go down :) Contact me with what you'd like to order!
It would help me a lot if people ordered some zines as I am still making copies at the copy shop and it's quite expensive :/
I applied at an artist collective where if I am accepted, I'll be able to make copies for cheaper so, more trades, more free zines and color covers! Fingers crossed!

Issue #1 of my very first (mini)zine, "Sins of Machines" is finally finished. It's quarter-sized, 16 pages, saddle-stitched. The first 13 copies have covers colored with rose petal pigment (literally by rubbing rose petals onto the paper), and there are sparkly rhinestones inside! I'm obsessed with the darker aspects of the Victorian era, so included are four poems inspired by Victorian art, crime, and literature, and a short essay on the crime of Maria and Frederick Manning in 1849.

$1 or trade, I can take Paypal or well-concealed cash. E-mail me at cryptstine[at]gmail[dot]com for info. ♥

Hello Everyone! I've been working on a new zine side project and the first issue is done! It's a series I'm calling Herb Skool, and the first issue is a one page zine all about the herb Mullein. Each issue will feature a specific herb, with medicinal info, hystory, uses, etc. It's a project to help expand my knowledge of herbal medicine, sparked by the loss of my friend Byron to cancer. So...if you would like this zine, mail me one stamp or a trade.

The second issue of my zine is called I'm A Transvestite. It's all about (queer) sexuality and living the way you are. It contains a short story, pictures, thoughts, etc. It's mainly in French -a few things in English. It's a 32 pages long half size/A5 split zine with my friend Will/Social Damage #2 and my cat loves it!

I'm all for trades and of any kind!
