Applicant (a6 - £1.50)
A priceless time-bomb of pop culture, Reklaw serves a compelling and secret look into an impossibly lost era. The book collects photos from the 1970s paired with accompanying comments from employers and professors. The results are absurdist, confusing, often hilarious and disturbing.

Beginners Guide to Responsible Sexuality (for men) (a5 - 50p)
A brief look at a number of important questions facing heterosexual men who don't want to go along with sexist ideas about how to have sexual relationships. Why should women be the only ones thinking about this?

Brains Zine #1 (a5 - £1)

Brains Zine #2 (a5 - £1)
Increased body count from the first issue!

Captain Howdy Mystery Zine (a4 - £2)
Crafty and obsurdist in nature, Kerry Ann Lee brings us a zine in the old style of the classics of yesteryear, like Murder Can Be Fun, Thrift Score, or Temp Slave. A smorgasboard of mock-pop culture with things like surfing the Ouija-net, Rorschach Time, weird foods and ads, a dream diary and dictionary, Italio Calvino's fantasy story, an interview with a man who builds horror movie props and makes films, and more. Graphically fun and gripping, this is a bit of entertainment including some fun Halloween themed crafts (the howly bag! and shrunken apple head!). So funny it'll have you pissing your pants!

Doris #23 (a5 -75p)
Cindy Crabb's zine is simply one of the best personal zines, complete with little scribbly cartoons and a subtle idealogical base worked in for good measure. It is really worth all of the hype and more. This is the L-M-N-O issue of the alphabet series discusses love, the ladies' group she attends with her grandmother, the process of menstrual extraction (a process developed in 1970 for women to take control of their bodies from home before abortion was legal), stories of living with her grandparents in Arizona, and a frightening trip that brought her and a friend to the California beaches where they got water logged in their tent and had to make an emergency evacuation. The beauty of the zine is how she slips in the simplest sentence in the middle of a story that connects her reading a book as a 16 year old to cultural appropriation or talks about her grandmother using the same inflection as her deceased mother and you can smile with her or shed a single tear because you understand and you can tell that she understands you too.

Flying Lesson #10 (a5 -£1)
This is Ali Haimson's personal zine where she spills the beans about the goings on in her life. This issue is quite a bit heavier than previous ones. It's about deliving pizza and getting the notion to open a radical bookstore (and then doing it), a bad breakup and running into her ex at the worst moments, being a good dog mommy, not being able to talk to her family, a new crush on a girl at the bar next to her work, visiting her sister, smoking, and riding the bus. This is wholly entertaining and honest and left me with a smile on my face, though al ittle worried for Ali.

Frugal Vegan's Harvest and Holiday Survival Guide (a5 - £1.70)
A gigantic cookbook from Montreal spilling over with exciting recipes for people without a lot of cash to thrown down. Recipes for food, non-food, and even gift ideas!

Girl / Boy #2 (a5 - £1.50)
Rob Noxious (The Fall of America) teams up with Shyla Ann to talk about gender roles in extreme depth! They each present half of a zine talking from their own perspective so you get that "flip zine" split format. Tons of issues are discussed such as sex (homosexual and otherwise), pornography, alternatives to tampons/pads, subtle school lessons, polyamory, male intuition, homosexuality and homophobia, confronting sexism, rape in prison, and TONS more. this puppy is huge!

Green Zine #14 (A5 - £1.30 ) Cristy Road has always brought us breathtaking artwork (some of my favorite) along with literary stories that remind us of the strength and ability of punk youth. This new issue is more of the same with some reflection of Cristy's various homes between Miami and Philadelphia, racism in her communities, the strength of her friends, coming to terms with assault, gender, sexuality, and identity, and much more. The words are powerful, the stories make you feel like anything can be accomplished, and the artwork adds another strong element. Once a true fanzine devoted to Green Day, this zine has now evolved into literary prose devoted to the strengths of our communities.

The Heart Star (a6 - 75P)
One of two cute mini-zines by Christoph of Twenty-eight Pages Lovingly Bound With Twine. "The Heart Star" is the more serious of a story. It's the interesting tale of a girl that dies with a broken heart, and her struggles to find peace.

Joy of Quizzing #1 (a5 - £1)
Theresa, Jillian, and Shelley are big fans of quizzing games and here's some quizzes they've written for your enjoyment. You can figure out which one of them you are most similar to, which mid-90s riot grrrl subculture you most resemble, what's your perfect vacation destination?, how cute are you?, are you a know it all?, which back to the future character are you?, what kind of crusher are you?, what's your perfect tea?, are you a slob?, and most importantly - the tool of quizzing for seduction. There's a bonus article about the bible being packaged as a teen magazine. It's extremely entertaining, fun, and social. An excuse to make friends and play games with them, you lonely zinester.

Likes / Dislikes zine (a5 - 75P)
A great little slice of personality into Lacey's life via her extensive lists of likes and dislikes.

My Heart Beats Only For You...and a few dozen other people (a5 - £1)
Nickey Robo gives us a play by play of all of the crushes of her life in sequential order! It's really cute and written with such devotion in each case until Nickey's heart is crushed and then stomped into little bits. I think far too many people can unfortunately relate with the kind of crushes and heartbreak portrayed in these pages.

On The Poverty Of Student Life (a5 - £1.75)
The classic French situationist text that exploded mind in 1966. It will no doubt hold as much relevance today and have the same affect on you. "In the world of the student, every type of social practice is controlled to the utmost degree. Shifting the entire guilty conscience about society onto students serves to mask everyone's poverty and servitude."

Scared of Bees/Rum Lad #1 (a5 - £1)
Popping their fanzine cherry: on the Rum Lad side is steve providing us with some fantastic art alongside some tales of his job as a hospital porter. The Scared of Bees side is a really positive bunch of short stories touching on village life, urban exploration and the loss of a friend.

Scribble Faster #2: The Mix Tape (a5 - £1)
Megan tells us of about adolescence and growing up and adulthood and how all three are kinda the same in perspective, except you tend to think that once you read the next stage it will all make sense - even though it never does. Holding on to the spirit of DIY even though she never identified as a punk. We are blessed because she really knows how to write. This is no hack job. The stories are comical and serious; I was genuinely impressed by this work and feel like this is something almost all of us can relate to.

Scribble Faster #3: Set Sail (a5 - £1)
Scribble Faster #3 is stories of escape. Escapes taken and escapes deferred. Escapes plannd and escapes we never expected. Escapes still to come. It is a love letter and a goodbye note to New York. It is also stories of why we need to leave sometimes and the people we wish had stayed.

Sub Rosa #1 (a5 - £1)
"The one thing that gets me out of bad every morning is the hope that things can only get better. By the end of the day I know that isn't true. The sun doesn't always shine & I have to stop forcing it to because if I can appreciate the clouds, the rain, the dark days I can keep on going even when the sun burns out for good."

Sub Rosa #2 (a5 - £1)
"My sisters are my best friends. My sisters are strong women who I feel very lucky to know, to share blood & history & hysterics. My sisters are incredible women who are smart & sassy & just totally fucking rad. My sisters are the best friends I will ever have & I'm ok with that. I'm ok knowing that my best friends were born into the family, given to me as a gift from the best friend fairy who knew, eventually, I would need them."
