“So you’ve read every issue of FaT GiRL cover to cover.”

“While wearing your official FaT GiRL t-shirt.”

“But you just can’t get enough of FaT GiRL!”]

“Now there’s a solution to your problem!

But wait, there’s more! Included free and at no additional charge you will find a wonderful history of zines, a zine directory, fabulous quotations, and 10, yes 10 other fascinating interviews with the creators of zines like Outpunk (host of the Dirtybird Festival you read about on pages 6-7), Housewife Turned Assassin, Meat Hook and more. 

So what are you waiting for?

[image: A book cover: “Vol. 1: ZINES!” in large black text across the top. A large photo of a thin white person with short dark hair, lipstick and a leopard-print coat. In one hand they hold up a fanned-out handful of different issues of a 1950’s-looking zine entitled “Mystery Date,” which partially obscures their face. A curtain is behind them, against which is a white speech bubble with black text: “Surrender to the incredibly strange urge… to create your own zine!” In the bottom right corner is “RE/Search”.]
