Zine Reviews?

What are some current zine review zines or websites?
Alot of the information I'm finding is old and most likely out of date.

If you do zine reviews, or know anyone that does, let me know!

Randy, not to be rude, but why is Teal Triggs' book Fanzines promoted on the side of your blog? Just wondering, because I know a LOT of zine people have many problems with her book. See the site made in protest of the book: http://fanzinesbytealtriggs.weebly.com/

But thanks for posting your site. I've seen it before, and I think it's a good (and current) review site. :]

review zines include xerography debt and zineworld. Issue 30 of zineworld will be out soon. Both are very good. Also Razorcake and Maximum Rock and Roll have large zine review sections.

I review for zineworld and a few UK zines too

I've been doing sporadic reviews at Reclusive Obscenities but starting this year I'm doing a review a week.

I edit a quarterly online zine reviews column for a print and online library trade publication. The reviews are written primarily by library workers from all types of libraries and library school grad students.

The zines are definitely available when the reviews come out, but I can't promise how long they stay that way.

You have to wend through this page a little to find the zine reviews: http://www.libraryjournal.com/csp/cms/sites/LJ/Reviews/Magazine/ind...

The next column, coming out around March 1st will review transgender/genderqueer zines.

Hi Beth, Syndicated zine reviews isn't my site, but I do reviews for it. You'll have to ask Jack Cheiky.

oh, my bad, sorry. thanks for the clarification, Randy. :]

you might want to give everyone on that site including Jack a heads-up about Teal Triggs, though.
