Zine Book Collections

[Harley R. Pageot]

What nice book collections of zines are there out there?

I love this idea because it means you can actually read zines from yesteryear and get a bunch of great ones all in one fell swoop.

I'm aware of:
Despite Everything: A Cometbus Omnibus
Dishwasher: One Man's Quest To Wash Dishes In All Fifty States
Doris: An Anthology 1991-2001
Found: The Best, Lossed, Tossed And Forgotten Items
Ghost Pine: 13 Years Underground
No More Shaves: A Duplex Planet Collection
and all the Zine Yearbooks

There's also books about ziney magazines like:
BITCHfest: Ten Years Of Cultural Criticism
The Bust Guide To The New Girl Order
How Sassy Changed My Life
She's Shameless


What else should I harp on my library to order?

Flow Chronicles by Urban Hermitt is great.

The Burn Collector set is good too!

In the 90's there was THE BOOK OF ZINES by Chip Rowe which was a compilation of various articles form various zines in from that era.

There's DOUBLE DEUCE which is also by Aaron Cometbus and may actually just be a slightly expanced edition of a issue of COMETBUS.

And one of my personal favorites is CRAIG KINGSBURY TALKIN' by Kristen Kingsbury Henshaw.

There was alos something that I think was called THE FACRSHEET FIVE READER by R Seth Friedman that was similar to Chip Rowe's book.

Long ago in a galaxy far far away I had a copy of a Ben Is Dead book... Amazon turns up this: http://tinyurl.com/yclsqqk which is to say... almost no info. But an ISBN is always a good place to start.
