Summary: Inspiring and fun, delicious visuals and copy.
Review: A good representative survey of the contemporary world of Underground Comix, tho a different genre than those of yore- these examples are more "reality" based. Inspirational (the reader is encouraged to Do It Yourself) and fun, ZINE SCENE is delicious eye cake and soul food, a terrific Holiday or Any Day treat.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: Everything you ever wanted to know about 'zines but were afraid to ask

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'Zine Scene makes the genre accessible and fun!
Review: I am an author in the book so I am a bit biased but the project turned out SO well! The book encourages people of all genders, ages, and creeds to get creative and start writing! It presents the genre of 'Zines as something for everyone which should (hopefully) draw a lot of people to the art-form! Francesca and Hillary rock my world and they are incredibly good at giving delectable descriptions and step-by-steps! Go buy the book for yourself or anyone you know who loves to do their own thang!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE!!
Review: I am not kidding. For so long I've had so much to say and I never felt I had a place to say it. Until I heard about zines. But then I didn't have a clue how to start my own zine. ZINE SCENE is the only book I've found (and I've done a lot of research on this subject!) that gave me everything I needed to know about every single aspect of zines. From what they are, who's doing them, where to find them, all the way to design elements, what to write about and how to distribute (and so much more). Thanks to Hillary Carlip (by the way, her design work in the book is AWESOME!) and Francesca Lia Block (Weetzie rules!) for truly changing my life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is a slinkster-cool book for anyone
Review: i only started reading stuff by francesca lia block like a year ago. i was hooked. the first book i read was "girl goddess #9". i went to the library and checked out everything by her. this was on the new book shelf. i didn't really know what to expect when i started to read "zine scene". after i had read it cover-to-cover over and over, i was ready to zine up a storm. so i did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: this book is fun to read and super-informative
Review: I really liked this book. I don't think anyone can read it without wanting to make a zine of their very own. I've been zining and e-zining for about 5 years now, and most of this stuff I had to learn on my own. It's great that a book is out now to help people get started and show people what's going on with other zines.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: its excellent
Review: i think that this book rocked, its a fun read but it's still informative. that's great because there aren't many books like this one out there. another thing that i liked is that it was easy to understand, but it inspired me a lot!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOWOWOW TOTALLY F'ING AWESOME DUDE!!!!!!!@@@@@@@!!!!!!!!!
Review: i thought this was the best book ever and it was so good and this is the only book i have ever read all the way through except for one of the babysitters club books but i forget which one because theres like a million of them and i never read anything because i never used to like reading books in sk00l because they were not about like who i am n stuff like that. but now i know about zines and they are so much better than regular magazines which are like oppressive and stuff like that and they just talk about makeup which is really stupid and not where the revolution is. zines are the revolution and grrrl power is tha bomb and francesca lia block is the best writer ever and i am going to name my zine after weetzie bat because nobodys ever done that before and i am a original.

this is AwEs0mE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The coolest thing around
Review: I was one of those people who said, "What's a zine?" but when I picked up this book and took a look, I was hooked. It's all here for those of you who want to stay visually current! Yippee for Carlip and Block.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fabulous, funny, and feisty
Review: I've been involved in 'zines since I was 13, and this book would have helped me so much when I started. It is great for beginners just diving into the zine world, but indispensable for long time zinesters, too. The whole thing is layed out like a 'zine, and incudes work from many zines you may have heard of or not. Hilary Carlip is the author of the fantastic Girl Power, and Francesca Lia Block has written many of my faves, inluding the Weetzie Bat books. No matter who you are, you will enjoy Zine Scene.
